“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5 -6 (NIV)

On behalf of the National Board of Directors, it is my great honor and privilege to greet the National members as we prepare for our 106th National Convention in Phoenix, Arizona, in just a few weeks. We give God all the praise and honor for allowing us to come together in person for another Annual Convention. The Board of Directors has planned a spirit-filled, productive, informative, and educational Convention. We certainly hope that you are making plans to attend the Convention. We need your dedication and support for a successful Convention. We want all delegates attending the convention to maintain their health and well-being. The wearing of masks is not required. However, we encourage delegates with respiratory conditions and health issues to wear masks during the convention. All delegates are encouraged to have the name and contact information of someone to contact in case of an emergency, as well as a list of all medications and their corresponding dosages, readily available at all times.

We wish you a safe trip to the 106th National Convention. We hope your stay is most enjoyable. Please be assured that the Board of Directors is here to assist you in any way you may need.

To God be the Glory for what He has done, is doing, and is going to do for the advancement of this organization.

Blessings,
