FAS recognizes that certain organizations desire to utilize their own distinctive design. This creativity and diversity is welcomed, and we encourage each organization to work with the show organizer to incorporate its design into the unified U.S. presence.
FAS also recognizes
that organizations may occasionally have valid reasons to
be located outside of the U.S. pavilion. On a
case-by-case basis, FAS may consider granting a one-year
exception to this policy for two reasons:
1) the trade show is segregated into product pavilions;
or
2) a company=s
distributor or importer is located outside the U.S.
pavilion.
If an organization receives an exception during any
program year, it remains eligible to request a similar
exception in future years.
An organization may be reimbursed for its eligible trade show expenses if it receives written approval from the director of its FAS commodity division granting an exception to this policy. If such an exception is granted, the FAS commodity division will notify the FAS Trade Show Office.
NOTE:
This notice supersedes the earlier notice MAP 01004, dated July 17, 2001, and is effective immediately.
