  • The APTA Maryland Chapter will approve sponsorship for a period of four years. The vendor shall submit to the Chapter for approval any changes in speaker, content or length.
  • Sponsor application must be sent in at least six weeks in advance of the course date.
  • A fee of $100 per application will be charged. Vendors can pay online or by Check.
  • If dissatisfied with the outcome, the vendor may resubmit additional or clarifying information for re-evaluation. Each paid submission to APTAMD is granted one free re-evaluation; subsequent submissions require a new application fee of $100
