2021 Convention
Dear Members,
It was with great discussion and deliberation that the Executive Board has come to the decision to postpone this year’s convention that was scheduled forOct’ 29th-31st, in Corner Brook.
Though the decision was not made lightly, as a board we felt that we must prioritize the health and safety of our members, attendees, guests, exhibitors and staff. With recent COVID-19 activities and the rapid spread of the highly contagious Delta Variant, both in our own province and that is transpiring across our country, we feel that this is the most prudent course of action in keeping our communities safe and healthy.
Earlier this year, in July, we were optimistic that we could host a safe and successful event, but the variants of COVID that are surfacing and affecting our population is very worrisome, especially in the uptick of cases locally and nationally. We recognize that we must learn to live with this virus, but we feel that at this time it is still too risky to bring together our members from different parts of our province and other provinces for an event of this size.
We have weighed all our options and we feel that this is the right decision at this time. We value you, our members, and know this is disappointing. We appreciate your patience, understanding and even your frustrations but we hope that you can respect us for making this difficult decision. Let’s all do everything we can to make sure we can host our Convention safely in 2022! If anyone should have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your President, Region Director or our Staff.
2020 Annual Convention
After careful deliberation and in keeping with the Department of Health pandemic guidelines, the Executive Board has decided to cancel the 2020 Annual Convention. While this decision is indeed disappointing, the Board feels that it is prudent to do so.
As you know, we are living in a time that we have never seen before and we also know that Covid 19 has, is and will continue to wreak havoc in all of our lives for who knows how long.
This is the first time in our Associations history that the annual convention had to be cancelled. Doing so will also mean that we will have to make some adjustments to the process and terms of the Executive Board. The 2020 convention would have seen the election of Regions 2, 4 and 6 directors. The directors of these regions will stay on for another year and hopefully at the 2021 convention we will proceed as normal with those elections. Thank you to Directors Evan Cox, Gary Harnum and Hank Diamond for agreeing to stay on.
We look forward to seeing you again in 2021. Enjoy your summer, stay safe and take good care of yourselves and others.
