In person canceled again this year

During the weekend of February 18th to 20th, the convention planning committee conducted a pole of members to see how many were planning to attend the in person segment of the convention. The pole indicated that there were not enough people planning to attend in person to justify the expense of operating the in person convention this year. Therefore, though it saddens us to have to make this decision, we decided to move back to all virtual and hope that the pandemic situation allows us to meet in person next year. We are proud of our last year’s virtual convention, and we hope that we can count on your support again this year.
