Therefore, even if you THINK you may attend the Conference but won't register by January 4, please email your EAL info to NECAS Board member and Air Base contact Ben Canetti at benjamin.canetti@us.af.mil (submitting this information DOES NOT oblige you to attend the Conference) Information required for EAL: (active and retired U.S. military I.D. card holders are exempt)
