2021 ACBNY Convention—Virtual Registration – PayPal only

2021 ACBNY Convention—Virtual Registration – PayPal only

October 15 through 17, 2021

Greetings ACBNY members and friends.

ACBNY will be providing a virtual option for those unable to attend the convention in person this year, with concerns related to the Delta variant of COVID-19 and those at higher risk. We are asking attendees to register via PayPal, as the host chapter is responsible for providing a Zoom host, and working with ACB Media to stream the event. Logging into the convention via Zoom will allow you to interact with the convention, i.e. raise your hand, ask a question, etc., as we all experienced during last year’s convention. We appreciate those who plan to attend in person, and look forward to seeing everyone else on Zoom. If you would like to listen in without actively participating, ACB Media will be streaming most of our events as well.

Please register no later than Fri. 10/8/21, so we can distribute the Zoom link and info the week of the convention.

Thanks, and we look forward to meeting soon!

Ian Foley
