SoBe Kids Camp is located in the lower lobby of the St. Moritz Building. For information, call the hotel at 305/604-1601 ext. 5284 or 5285.
Climate
In February, temperatures in Miami typically peak in the mid 70s during the day and drop to the low 60s in the evenings. Historically there is little rain this time of year, but please bring your umbrella just in case.
Council Policies
The Council on Foundations is firmly committed to fair employment practices, inclusiveness and the prohibition of sexual harassment of employees by staff, visitors or members. If you would like information on these and other policies, please contact the Council's executive office.
Conference Resource Material
Continue your learning after the conference ends! The Council provides every conference registrant with a CD-ROM containing references and resource material from conference sessions. The CD-ROM will be in the conference tote bag you receive during check-in at the registration desk. All registrants will also receive an e-mail approximately 10 days before the conference with the on-line location of the conference resource material. You may preview or print session information before the conference. Check the Family Conference agenda builder at www.cof.org following the conference for resources that did not make it onto the CD-ROM.
Meals
Meals are included in your registration fee for the day(s) for which you have registered. Sunday includes brunch and afternoon tea. Monday includes breakfast, lunch and the evening networking event. Tuesday includes breakfast and lunch. There will be a limited number of extra meal tickets available at the registration desk for individuals who are eligible for conference attendance.
Media
Members of the media should request press credentials from the Council on Foundations media department. For more information, please contact Jeff Martin, Director, Media Relations, 202/467-0265.
