32nd NATEODA CONVENTION
September 21-25, 2021
The NATEODA Board of Directors have regretfully decided to not have a convention this September. This comes after much careful thought, even though all of the Board members wish it could happen. We felt there were too many uncertainties about travel and restrictions from COVID-19 health protocols. The Board is determined to have a convention in 2022 and will keep everyone informed through updates on the website of our plans for the 2022 convention date and location.
