Thank you for registering for CSEA’s 94th Annual Conference!

LIVE AUCTION

How does the live auction work?
The live auction will be held via webinar on Tuesday, July 21 at 10:00 a.m. A link will be posted on the Humanitarian Fund Committee page; no password is required. In advance, preview the live auction items (found on committee page), pool your money with other members or your chapter, and be ready to bid for the item(s) you want.

Here are the bidding directions:
You will have a chat box that will work as your bidding box. After we show you the item on the screen and give you the description, we’ll tell you the starting bid price, only then can you begin to bid. You must type the exact price, the numerical amount, (i.e. if the item is $100 then type in 100; no dollar sign needed) into the bidding box. If you enter an amount higher or lower than the exact price, it will not count as a bid. We will raise the price for each round until we are out of bidders. The winner will be the person who got the final bid in first – so if it’s neck and neck between two people and they both put in a final bid, the person that entered the bid first in the chat box wins.

Exception to the rule: ALL IN, I’M IN Bid!!!
If you want to significantly outbid the starting bid (i.e. the item is for $100 and you bid $500) you can – this is called an ALL IN, I’M IN bid. This may be an interesting option for chapters that plan to pool money to donate and want to buy an experience or item that can be raffled later at a chapter meeting.

Do I have to bid on something to attend?
You do not need to bid to attend but you’ll want to as there are some great items, like a Virtual Dance party with your Association President, Ben Valdepena!

Will there be any raffles?
Of course, there will be raffles! During the live session, we will be raffling several gift cards and EVERYONE that bids at least one time will be entered to win a $500 Visa gift card.

SILENT AUCTION

How can I participate in the Humanitarian Fund Silent Auction?

Check out our website and bid on fabulous items. All proceeds go to the Humanitarian Fund. You will need to create an account with Bidding Owl by clicking here.

PAYROLL DEDUCTION

What does a payroll deduction entail?

A payroll deduction is a monthly payment you can elect to make out of your paycheck. You can choose any amount to donate; the Humanitarian Fund Committee recommends $3 per month, which in most cases is less than a cup of coffee.

To sign up for a payroll deduction, fill out the “Assistance Fund Payroll Deduction Form” on the Humanitarian Fund Committee conference page and email it to Member_app@csea.com.

Members who sign up will receive a Humanitarian Fund memorabilia pin and be entered in a raffle for a holiday feast. The winner will be drawn at the November State Board Meeting.

DIRECT DONATIONS

What if I sent in a chapter check with my registration?
If your chapter mailed in a donation your chapter will receive special recognition during the final live delegate session, and on the Humanitarian Committee’s webpage.

Can I donate at Conference?
At Annual Conference we have a tradition of passing the bucket on the Conference floor and whatever people have to give they add to the bucket. In the same spirit we will have a “virtual bucket”. You will see an icon during live session that you can click on to a donate page or go to the Humanitarian committee page and donate there.
