ASIS Luncheon Reservation Policy

The Chapter is facing financial challenges in that costs in general are increasing and there is increasing competition for available meeting space, which adds to the financial burden placed on the Chapter to provide high quality workshops and luncheon meetings

An ongoing problem with luncheon reservations is that the chapter must guarantee to the hotel/meeting place a certain number of luncheons. If fewer members show than was guaranteed, the chapter must pay for those lunches anyway. This was recently demonstrated at the St. Patrick's Law Enforcement luncheon where forty plus reservations did not show for the event.

The Chapter cannot continue to operate in a manner that is not financially sound and as a result is instituting a reservation policy for all normal monthly meetings:

• Hospitality will require a credit card number to hold all reservations.
• Confirmed reservations canceled less than twenty-four (24) hours before the day of the event are subject to a $25.00 service charge.
• Confirmed reservations that do not show and do not cancel are liable for the entire luncheon fee ($25).
• The cost for people who do not make a reservation will continue to be $30 at the door.

All special chapter events such as the Annual May Seminar, Golf Tournament, etc. will also have Cancellation / Reservation policies, however, the terms will vary depending on the event.
