Sorry. This form is no longer available.
Is this free for members? Or is it $85 for members? This page says both. Am I a member?
Hi Pamela,
Yes, this event is free for WNBA-SF members. I corrected the error in the post, so it should now correctly say
“*Please write correct payment amount on if you are a member of the WNBA (FREE for members, $15 for non-members)” when selecting the check option for payment. Yes, you are a WNBA-SF member, so this event is free for you. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for your question.

Dear Friends,
I ran into a glitch registering for this event. It would not let me submit my registration without selecting a form of payment. Yet, I’m a WNBA-SF chapter member so I didn’t think I needed to pay. I solved the problem by selecting “check” as my form of payment but I assume that I don’t need to send a check,. Please advise. Many thanks! Christy
Hi Christy,
You are correct, no need to send a check since the event is free for WNBA-SF chapter members. We will see you soon!
Best,
Julianna
