2020AnnualPlanningTY
Although NAELA was not able to host the 2020 Annual Conference earlier this year in Seattle, it would have been an event to remember. The planning committee worked for more than a year identifying the perfect content, selecting the best speakers, and designing an agenda that allowed for collaboration and networking for all. But as we know, hosting a live meeting in 2020 wasn’t meant to be as COVID-19 hit the Seattle area with intensity. Nevertheless, the planning committee deserves a round of applause for a job well done. NAELA’s Board of Directors and members thank each of you for your devotion to the planning of the 2020 Annual Conference and for never giving up and continuing to refine the agenda up to the day the conference was canceled.
We appreciate you very much!
