NFRC 2021 Fall Membership Meeting Moving Virtual
Due to guidance from national and local health officials, NFRC has made the difficult decision to transition our 2021 Fall Membership Meeting to a virtual event. We were very much looking forward to welcoming everyone back to an in-person meeting, but the health and safety of our members and staff is our top priority.
In the last 18 months, our members and participants have shown that NFRC’s progress doesn’t stop when we can’t meet in person, and we still plan to have a productive and engaging virtual meeting on Oct. 25-27, 2021.
Thank you to our members and stakeholders who have participated in our meetings and webinars throughout 2020 and 2021 and continue to support NFRC.
