Chapter Sales Booths Unavailable in Academic Marketplace

For the 2008 International Convention, chapters will not have the opportunity to sell merchandise in the Academic Marketplace. Unusually high charges for exhibit space and sales tax reporting requirements make chapter participation cost-prohibitive, said Phi Theta Kappa's Director of Recognition Services, Casey Holcomb. After a careful study of regulations imposed by the Pennsylvania State Tax Commission and the Philadelphia Convention Center, the decision was regretfully made to not include chapter sales booths in 2008, Holcomb said. Holcomb said the decision is being communicated as early as possible, to allow chapters to make alternate fundraising plans. The Academic Marketplace will still be the hub of Convention activities, featuring International Officer Candidate Booths, special exhibits and sales of merchandise from the Recognitions Collection.
