Due to the recent state of emergency in Maryland, our venue at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, has asked MDCLCA to cancel our upcoming conference. After discussing the possible health, financial, and social impact of COVID-19 on our members, the Executive Board has decided that MDCLCA will not be holding our annual conference on March 20th, 2020. 

Given that registration for the MDCLCA Conference traditionally includes membership in the organization, we have decided to continue to accept registration for membership-only in MDCLCA. For those of you who have already registered for the conference but not paid, we will modify invoices to reflect the membership dues only ($25 for professionals and $15 for students). For those of you who have already registered and paid, we will be refunding the conference portion of the fee ($35 for professionals and $30 for students). We will retain the membership dues portion of the fee ($25 for professionals and $15 for students) in order to fund continued membership activities. Please bear with us as we send refunds to everyone over the next couple of weeks.

In order to continue to provide you with the valuable learning and professional networking opportunities MDCLCA is known for, we are currently working with presenters to offer alternative methods for presenting their content to the membership. Please stay tuned as those details and logistics are determined.

MDCLCA Executive Board elections will continue as usual. The nomination period is still open until March 16. Voting will commence on March 20th as planned and continue through March 30th. Details about how to participate in voting will be coming shortly.

Please stay safe and healthy!
