HGCIA EXPO

2020 Expo & Membership Update

The novel Coronavirus has honestly been a challenge for us to work around when setting up our education and annual meeting. We looked at several options for having an in-person Expo but many unknown or changing variables resulted in our decision as a board to change our approach for this year’s meeting and education event to a digital format.

Here is an outline of our current plan:

• HGCIA will sponsor its members to obtain CEUs this year from a digital provider. CEUs will be available for LI, IT, II, and BPAT. This will be available to members who renew or sign up for new membership for 2021. We are in the process of setting this up now. We expect to have the course access set up by mid-November. More information will be released soon.
• HGCIA’s annual meeting and election will be online in December. An invitation will be sent via email out to all members by mid-November.
• 2021 Expo is in the works. We prefer a face-to-face experience and we know you do, too. We are moving forward with the plan of a normal event next year.

We know many of you have reached out with questions in the last few weeks and we sincerely apologize for not being more forthcoming with information. The honest truth is that we are volunteers who are also professionals in our own right and it takes a lot of time and planning to put these events together. Having said that, we need to do a better job of communicating even if it’s just “more info coming soon.” It is our commitment to improve this in 2021.
