As we begin the Summer of 2021, let’s all remember the individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country on this Memorial Day weekend. I am incredibly proud and thankful for our freedom that these people helped to ensure we all have as US citizens.

The primary agenda item of our Executive Committee meeting on Thursday, April 22nd, was to decide if our 2021 Annual Conference would be held Face-to-Face (F2F) or if we would once again have a virtual conference. The recent Survey Monkey poll results support our decision to go with a virtual conference once again. There is not an overwhelming amount of support for the F2F format. The “coin-toss” question in the poll was 54% for a virtual conference with 46% for the F2F Conference.

The updated format includes information about each step in the process, fees (amount and timing), as well as a streamlined timeline that has been reduced to approximately two years versus four to five years.
