A Needed Change of Venue
A Message from our Executive Director
Hello Friends:
Following a series of reviews with numerous professionals, a legal review of the New York City vaccine mandate, and a one-day member survey with an overwhelming majority ‘unwilling’ to go to NYC, it became perfectly clear that we had to take action. The city-wide mandate will not allow over half of our attendees to access the convention space, which required us to seek a new location outside of New York City. While this move may disappoint some of our members, it is necessary and prudent to allow the NWA to be able to hold a ‘complete’ convention with access to all.

The memo asks Mr. Johnson, along with the heads of Customs and Border Protection and Citizenship and Immigration Services, to develop policy options in the next 60 days to carry out that change in enforcement priorities.
