“2020 was likely our most productive year yet as an association. We held in-person board meetings in jan, sept, nov and zoom board meetings in march, april, july, aug to conduct our normal business. We were able to have our annual banquet in february (pre-covid) to honor and recognize two members of our association who have contributed both to the industry and to their community. We sent out communication too numerous to count to our members about ever-changing health department policies, best practices, resources for covid supplies and education, webinars, financial support, and more. We were able to distribute over 20,000 paper masks to our members at cost for their employees in early april 2020 - when face masks were very hard to come by and before they had become widely available. We had 3 meetings for our vendor members (only 1 had to be canceled due to covid). Our annual october golf tournament was re-imagined but more successful as ever, with actually more numbers in participation, albeit spread out throughout the day. Elections for a new board were held in november 2020, and that board began its term in january 2021.”
