2021 Convention: The Deacon as a Voice of Hope in Troubled Times
After a most challenging year, we invite you to join us in Saint Louis for our annual convention from April 19 - 22, 2021. This will be an opportunity for us to consider what our ministry as Deacon can begin to look like in the new normal of a post pandemic world. Pope Francis has called on us all to take responsibility for transforming “the roots of our physical, spiritual and social infirmities and the destructive practices that separate us from each other, threatening the human family and our planet.” Please note that all CDC guidelines on the Covid-19 virus will be followed, including (at this time) a requirement for attendees to wear masks in all public spaces and to socially distance. As guidance is adjusted, the requirements at the NADD Convention will be adjusted to remain congruent with the latest health safety recommendations provided by the CDC, the State of Missouri, and the City of St. Louis. The health and safety of our members, their families and our hosts is our top priority. Due to the financial pressure created by the Covid-19 pandemic and the restructuring of NADD in 2020 we have been able to reduce the registration fees for 2021 to $400 for members and $300 for spouses who attend. The Director's Workshop on April 20th will be offered to everyone who attends the NADD 2021 Convention at no charge.
