Maintain copies for administrative review, emergency access, and legal recordkeeping according to applicable retention rules.
The director or authorized organizer signs as the recipient and keeper of records, confirming that procedures were explained and that the statement is stored in program files for the event period and any required retention window.
For minors, a parent or legal guardian signs to provide consent for participation, medical treatment authorization, and media release when included; their signature establishes legal authority and contact chain for emergencies.
