GOVERNANCE
CFT’s ongoing concern for the health, safety, and welfare of our delegates because of the COVID-19 pandemic has compelled us to convert the CFT 2021 Convention to virtual convention. The challenges of using an all-virtual platform will cause the need for this convention to be conducted with modified rules and scheduling.
