The conclusion of the annual ABCA Convention marks a transition in ABCA Officers. Typically, the ABCA Officers switch at the in-person convention following the annual Board of Directors meetings. This year, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Convention being held virtually, the Board of Directors meetings were held after the event concluded. The Board meetings were held virtually and wrapped up on Tuesday, January 26.
Here's a look at the 2021 ABCA Officers:
