The 2021 Annual Leadership Meetings are scheduled as a hybrid event with in-person and virtual sessions. The in-person portion of the meeting is scheduled for June 8-12 in Albuquerque, NM. Virtual sessions will also be held in May. Should an in-person meeting not be feasible due to the impact of COVID-19, the AOA will shift to a comprehensive virtual meeting and will work with our sponsors to ensure greatest exposure during virtual events to ensure company goals are achieved.
