To allow full participation by our global community, NDSA is offering a waiver of the registration fee for individuals who are facing financial hardship or for whom the fee would present a barrier to their participation. A limited number of waivers will be

South. <span style="font-weight: 700;">Please </span><span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-weight: 700;"><u><a style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" class="OWAAutoLink" id="OWAb12708e6-f951-c7aa-0dff-b125a27be17c" href="https://forms.gle/aGy9NqraGSGCoBGX7">fill
