Join Now Pay Your Dues94th Annual Convention & Trade Show Postponed
It is with deep regret I inform you that, together with NERCA’s Executive Board & NERCA Staff, we have POSTPONED NERCA’s 94th Annual Convention & Trade Show that was set to take place next week at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Over the past few weeks, NERCA’s leadership & staff have been monitoring regional and worldwide developments related to COVID-19. With many countries recommending self-quarantine and currently a handful of North East region states, including the State of New Jersey, have declared a State of Emergency. It is no longer practical nor ethical to continue with our annual Convention.
While this was not an easy decision, and unprecedented in NERCA’s history, we feel it is in the best interest of safety and well-being of our membership, vendors, speakers and the public at-large to reschedule the show. A RESCHEDULE date is TBD.
As disappointed as we are that we will not be together in Atlantic City, we want to thank everyone for their continued support of NERCA and hope to see everyone in good health at our rescheduled convention.
Sincerely,
Bradley Sontz, NERCA President
