IMPORTANT SURVEY: Rescheduling of the 2020 OCRA Annual Conference

Proposed dates for rescheduling OCRA's Centennial Celebration

 


OCRA members and Ohio Colleagues,

As you are aware, the 2020 Annual Conference originally scheduled to be held March 27-29, 2020 has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 
 
While our country is navigating through uncharted waters during this trying time, the hospitality industry is looking forward with the goal of rescheduling those events which have been postponed.
 
Although the months ahead carry much uncertainty, the Renaissance Columbus Westerville-Polaris has contacted OCRA to reschedule our 2020 Annual Conference to September 11-13, 2020.  Please note:  This would only occur if permitted by law and with the assurance that it can be done safely with your health as the top priority.
 
In order to assist the OCRA Board of Directors in making the best decision for our members and our association combined, please click here to provide your input and feedback on the proposed rescheduling of the 2020 Annual Conference
 
Thank you in advance for your participation in this survey and for your continued support of OCRA.
