1. How can I register?
When details are available, usually 2-3 months before the next program, you can register securely online, printing a registration form and faxing it to MSBA headquarters, sending a check or register at the door. If you do choose to wait and register at the door, it is best to call the day before to make certain that it is not sold out. We will NOT hold any openings that are not paid for in advance.
