Official notice of cancellation of NCRA March 28-29, 2020
Dear NCRA Members and Conference Attendees
In view of recent developments, including the NC Governor’s declaration of State of Emergency for NC, we are officially cancelling the annual NCRA meeting.
For those members who have paid registration, we will be happy to refund you. However, if you wish to donate your registration that would be most appreciated, as it appears we are still responsible for considerable cost. Please let Tammy know if you wish to receive a refund.
If you made hotel reservations call 704-375-2600 to cancel your reservation.
Thank you for your patience while we wrestled with this unprecedented event. This pandemic has been difficult to gauge, but clearly it is in the best interest of all to limit travel at this time. It is also clearly prudent to avoid large gatherings of people for any reason with the goal of slowing the spread of the virus.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me, Tammy or any board member.
Stay well,
Jill
