REGISTRATION DETAILS

MEMBER DISCOUNTS
One of the benefits of membership is a discount to KEMSA hosted or sponsored events. To get the discount, members must be one of the following: 1) Active member of KEMSA in good standing; 2) Student member of KEMSA in good standing; or 3) Squad member of KEMSA in good standing.

Employees of a service member do not get discounts on event registrations. Sorry for any inconvenience. After you are logged in, come back to this page, and you can register quickly and easily.

Carefully read and complete all information on the online registration form. It is very important that you provide a valid e-mail address for all attendees, so everyone can get their CE certificates. Be sure to check all boxes that apply. Once you complete the registration form, the next screen will display a box to click for online payments by credit card or paypal.

If you want to pay by invoice, you will print the invoice you receive automatically by e-mail and turn it in for payment. A separate invoice will not be mailed except by special request to mary@kemsa.org.

If you need to register more than one person, just add a guest registration for each additional person you want to include. Please note: all guests are registered for the same registration option you clicked on the first screen. Other options on the form can be customized per person. If you register guests, you will get one invoice for everyone.

If you have problems with the online form or have questions, contact Mary Napier in the KEMSA office at mary@kemsa.org or 785-580-3459.
