The members only business meeting will begin promptly at 10:00am EST in the Notre Dame Ballroom A, followed by presentations and guest speakers.

The business meeting, election announcement, presentation of financials, departmental updates and other news will be delivered by the Board and staff. The meeting will be live-streamed for the membership and the election will be conducted electronically through a secure voting website and the results announced. The CCFR is the only organization utilizing technology to be inclusive of all members, regardless of geographical location. Members come first at the CCFR.

*There is no cost to current CCFR members to attend the “members only” business meeting. Tickets are on sale for the banquet dinner and social. 

Members are invited back to the Notre Dame A ballroom at 18:00 for a “top-shelf” banquet dinner (buffet style) and social with the directors, field officers and other members, along with many guests of honour.
