<p class="MsoPlainText">UPDATE for all OSFA MEMBERS:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Thank you so much to all who participated in our survey regarding how to proceed with the 2020 conference during these challenging times. Below are some important updates:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><b>2020 Conference Status<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The Board met via conference call last week and decided to postpone the OSFA Annual Conference to
<b>May 20th and 27th, 2021</b>. Please mark your calendar. If it is possible and safe to do so we will plan a training in February 2021.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Stay tuned for details on all 2021 events.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><b>Board Status<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">As you know at our May Conferences we elect a new board. Since the Conferences have been postponed until next year our current Board has offered to stay in place as is until new members can be nominated and voted on in 2021. I am grateful
to all current board members for their willingness to serve an additional year. We will be working hard in the coming months to make the 2021 Conferences relevant and beneficial for all of our members.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><b>OSFA Membership<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">We realize that most of our members renew their membership as a part of their conference registration fee. The Board has decided to extend your membership through 2021. So if you are currently and OSFA member you will remain so until
May, 2021. At that time, if you choose to attend one of the Conferences, your membership renewal will be included or if is not possible for you to attend, you may simply renew your membership separately. If you have any questions about your membership status,
please feel free to contact Susan Adkins at Class Act Events 503-371-8904 or <a href="mailto:susan@classactevents.net">

<p class="MsoPlainText"><b>NEW WEBSITE!<o:p></o:p></b></p>

<a href="https://oregonsfa.org/">https://oregonsfa.org/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
