Every year there are more vendors with excellent products and services designed to meet the needs of home educating families. If you are one of these vendors, we encourage you to apply. However, as we give priority to returning vendors, we have only a small number of booths available for new vendors. For those booths, we only consider vendors who:

1. agree to abide by our contract,

2. agree that their product and/or service, as well as conversations at the conference, will not offend the CHEC Statement of Faith, the Position Statement Concerning Creation, and the Position Statement on Home Education, and

3. are not a multi-level marketing company.

The Vendor Committee will evaluate all new applications to assure that the products or services offered fit within CHEC's guidelines. Those vendors who best fit into CHEC's vision will then be evaluated to ensure their product lines and/or services are not duplicating those offered by returning vendors. If your company is not selected, we encourage you to take advantage of one of the many other advertising oppurtuninties CHEC provides.Find out more

Vendors who supply materials or services that directly support the home schooling community may apply. All new vendors must include a current catalog or detailed description of their products or services, and a mission statement as part of the application process. Please also include a sample of your product if you think it will enable the Vendor Committee to make a more informed decision. Vendors who do not submit all required paperwork will not be considered by the Vendor Committee.

The CHEC board has decided to allow "alternative" colleges in the exhibit hall this year. If your college allows at least 50% of the students' credits to be earned while schooling at home, has a Biblical world view, and literal creation teaching, please contact the Vendor Chairman.

The final decision as to whether or not you are accepted as a vendor rests with the Vendor Committee. If the committee does not have adequate information about your company they will choose an alternate company. Do not assume acceptance until you receive confirmation.

You may not request specific booth numbers. Every effort is made to assign the best available booth at the time of processing. After approval by the Vendor Committee, vendors are assigned booth space according to the order in which their application, contract, catalog, and mission statement were submitted. CHEC must receive full payment for the booth assigned within 30 days of notification or the space will be reassigned to the next vendor on the waiting list.

Please apply even though space is limited. If the Exhibit Hall is full, we will place your company on a waiting list.

Here is how the application process works:

Submit the application, contract, mission statement, and catalog or description of product/service. Send anything you think would help the vendor committee make an informed decision (if you send samples, they will be returned, unless otherwise specified). Once all the paperwork is in, it goes to the vendor committee. The vendor committee then makes a decision based on many factors which include: 1. Needs of the exhibit hall and number of booths available; 2. Products you have available; 3. Whether or not the product/service conflicts with or offends CHEC's mission statement.

New Vendors: Don’t forget to mail to the CHEC office your mission statement and catalog/product description.
