POSTPONEMENT OF ELECTIONS

Due to COVID-19 and the cancellation of all 2020 conferences, the Executive Board has decided to postpone the election of officers this coming Spring 2021 Conference until further notice.

CANCELLATION OF 2020 FALL CONFERENCE

President J. Scott McClain
6/30/2020

It is with mixed emotions that we as your Board must make decisions that ultimately affect our everyday life. We are all used to working and conducting our business as usual and not worrying about a pandemic such as COVID-19.

But due to this pandemic, we have decided to CANCEL OUR FALL CONFERENCE IN GREENVILLE. We have been closely monitoring our President, our Governor, and local leaders to try and make the best decision as possible.

After our teleconference this morning, we have concluded that you, OUR MEMBERSHIP and your FAMILIES are the most important and a conference can be overlooked in these times that we are ALL going through.

Please pray for our nation and all Federal, State and Local leaders as they make decisions that affect us all. Please look on our website for updates and please sign up for our 2021 Spring Conference in Myrtle Beach next June.
