| Many Deadlines |
Many deadlines for USITT programs occur in December. Take advantage of reduced Conference registration rates by registering for the 2006 Annual Conference & Stage Expo by December 15, 2005. That is also the deadline for Student Volunteer applications, and to have ballots returned to be counted for the 2006 election process.
Thinking a bit farther in the future, January 10, 2006 is the deadline for applications for the USITT Grants & Fellowship program.
