- Requests must be approved by SHARE Headquarters.
- The requesting company can either provide their own equipment, or arrange it through SHARE, in which case the company will be charged the fee assessed by the A/V company.
- All speakers must agree to the taping.
- The speaker(s) must state the following disclaimer: "Today's session will be audio and/or videotaped for ___________ reason. If you ask any questions during or after the presentation, your voice will be recorded."
- If SHARE should choose to tape a session for SHARE purposes, then SHARE will assume the expenses and follow the same aforementioned guidelines.
