Welcome to ACT News!

FIRST THINGS FIRST: Due to the spread of COVID-19, our April 22 ACT Meeting in Orlando will be postponed. We are looking at alternatives for this fall, including rescheduling at the Rosen Centre with HawkSoft and others, as well as virtual conferencing. ACT will update you as soon as we have determined a location and date.

In the interim, if you were planning to attend the April ACT Meeting, please cancel your Rosen Centre hotel reservations by calling 800-204-7234, or visiting their website at https://www.rosencentre.com/.

Airlines have also become more flexible with cancellation fees and vouchers, so please cancel your flights.

We will move forward with all ACT Work Groups, so please look for scheduling requests and updates as many of us move to different work schedules and locations.

As always THANK YOU for all you do for our industry!
