SPONSOR RESPONSIBILITY AGREEMENT:
APEE UNDERGRADUATE POSTER COMPETITION
The Associate for Private Enterprise Education is proud to each year provide
undergraduates with a forum within which to present their research on the role of free
markets in a prosperous society. In addition to receiving valuable comments on their
work, the competition provides undergraduates with recognition for their efforts and
serves to encourage them as young scholars.
For APEE to continue providing this forum it is crucial that undergraduate participants
behave responsibly, legally, and safely during the conference. Undergraduates attending
APEE are by and large responsible and mature individuals. However, even a small
number of exceptions is unacceptable and threatens the continuation of the poster
competition. APEE does not condone harmful behavior on the part of undergraduates and
such harmful behavior reflects badly on APEE.
In sponsoring an undergraduate participant you are vouching for them as a responsible
and mature individual. (This includes the fact that they are at least 21 years of age, as is
required to register for the conference.) APEE expects that you will take this into account
when deciding whether or not to sponsor a particular student. Furthermore, having
sponsored a student APEE expects that you will play an active role in monitoring their
conduct during the conference. Playing an active role necessarily involves registering for
and attending the conference.
In signing below you acknowledge the above concerns; you agree to register for and
attend the conference, and to take additional steps to ensure that your sponsored student’s
behavior during the APEE conference is appropriate.
