In order to support reintroduction of the paper waiver, Leaders must follow requirements and guidelines for their use and submission. In short, Leaders need to ensure that the forms are legible and that they are submitted within 7 days of completing the activity. With the assistance of Chapter Leadership, we will monitor the rate of return on paper waivers.

Also, we cannot emphasize enough the importance of using the Incident Report Form. The AMC expects that accidents and incidents will occur on AMC trips. When in doubt, complete and submit the form. More data means more learning and greater opportunities to improve the experience of volunteer Leaders, develop training, create supportive structures, and improve follow up. 

Using the Electronic Waiver in Activities Database (ActDB):  
Available when the Leader selects the ActDB Registration Option  
“Required – Electronic Waiver” 

  1. No Submission Action Required. These forms are submitted automatically at the conclusion of the event.
  2. Leaders may be asked to verify who showed up for the event.

Using the Paper Waiver:  

For Leaders who select any other ActDB Registration Option: Contact Registrar; In Person Paper; or External Link.
