Registration Instructions:

Step 1: Go to the RWA Web site, www.rwanational.org.

Step 2: From the homepage fill in your e-mail address and password and click “Login” in the Member Login box.

Step 3: Once you are logged in, you will need to click on the link that says “Member Resources” in the upper navigation bar.

Step 4: On the left-hand navigation ladder in the Member Resources section, click on “My Account Profile.”

Step 5: On the My Account Profile page, select the first link, which says “My Profile.”

Step 6: At the bottom of the “My Profile” page will be two links, one link for Editor Appointment registration and one for Agent Appointment registration. Click either the Editor Appointment or Agent Appointment link to access its registration page.

Note: These links WILL NOT appear on your “My Profile” page until it is your designated time and date to sign up.

Step 7: Once you are at the registration page for either the Editor Appointment or Agent Appointment event, you will need to check the box under the “Event Fees” section. It will say either “2008 Editor Appointments” or “2008 Agent Appointments.”

Step 8: Check the box under the “Sessions” section next to the name of the person with whom you’d like to have an appointment. The appointment time block and number of slots available are displayed to the right of the editor’s/agent’s name.

Note: You are only allowed one “session” or appointment per event. If you select more than one, then upon check-out you will receive an error message and be asked to uncheck all but one “session” or appointment. If you neglect to select any session, you will not receive an appointment.

Step 9: If you would like an e-mail confirmation of your appointment registration, please remember to check the “send e-mail confirmation box” below the session/appointment listing.

Note: Although credit card fields are listed, you do not need to fill in any payment information. Editor/Agent Appointments are free of charge.

Step 10: Hit the “Register Now” button to complete your Editor or Agent Appointment registration.

Note: If you registered for an editor appointment and then wish to go register for an agent appointment, you will need to return to your “My Profile” page and access the appropriate registration link. You’ll notice that once you register for either an editor and/or agent appointment, you cannot go back and register for that same event again. To view the appointments for which you are registered, click the “My Transactions” link in the “My Account Profile” section. Under the “Products Purchased” link, you should see the editor and/or agent you signed up to meet. You can also see the event under the “Event Registration” section on the “My Transactions” page.

You will receive an e-mail from steph@rwanational.org with your specific editor and/or agent appointment time towards the end of June.

If you have trouble registering, please e-mail me at steph@rwanational.org.
