Greetings SAIGE members;
As you know, SAIGE strives every year to make our National Training Program affordable for you as an attendee, and for your agency. We always negotiate the local government per diem rate for hotel rooms for our event. This year that rate is $93 per room night. We are very pleased to be going to Niagara Falls, NY to this beautiful tribally-owned facility and invite you to join us.
The Seneca Niagara Resort and Casino is now accepting reservations for rooms during our Training Program June 10-13, 2019, as well as a day before and day after to help you with your plans.
Please make your reservation by calling 1-716-299-1100 or 1-877-873-6322 and request the group rate for the Society of American Indian Government Employees.  (There is no online option available for a group rate.)
Deadline for Hotel Room Reservations is MAY 18. After that, no government rate rooms will be offered.
 
Guests must provide the Hotel room reservation department with a major credit card to guarantee their reservation for late arrival. All individuals will be responsible for their own room and incidental charges upon check-out.
Cancellation Policy: Guests must cancel their room reservation 72 hours prior to arrival to avoid fees, failure to show on the day of arrival will result in a charge of a one night room rate.
Please inform us if you have any issues in making your hotel reservations. Chair@saige.org
