1 December 2020 In-Person N Train 2021 is Cancelled
There is nothing more important than the safety of our members and their families . It is , and always must be , paramount .
Taking a page from the risk management training we have all had , and weighing the risk of the grave consequences contracting COVID-19 could have for our members and their families against the benefits that an in-person N Train would provide , there is really no decision to be made other than to cancel the face-to-face portions of N Train 2021 . Accordingly , those in-person meetings and training events now scheduled for late January 2021 in Saint Louis will not be held . However , we will go forward with a virtual National Board Meeting that will be available for all members to observe if they wish . A virtual meeting of the Committee of the Whole will be held as required by the Standing Rules of the National Board , and a virtual meeting of the Operational Committee ( OPCOM ) will take place in late February or early March . The Auxiliary Senior Officer Course ( ASOC ) will meet virtually starting on January 4 , 2020 . In addition , the other scheduled training events will take place virtually on dates to be announced by their respective instructors .
We are all frustrated that once again we are left with no alternative but to cancel another important National event ; however , I am hopeful that by the time for NACON 2021 nears , this pandemic will be under control and we will be in a position where we can meet in person . I promise you that if I have anything to say about it , and I do , it will be a NACON to remember !
Please stay safe and stay well .
Semper Paratus
Very respectfully ,
Alex Malewski National Commodore
