Cece Corbin, NPFDA President remarked, “We followed all safety guidelines, and I am pleased to share that our surveys show no reported cases of COVID-19 among those who attended. While attendees are responsible for their own decisions regarding their health and safety, we have learned that networking events can be safe, even in times of COVID-19. Our next event is the NPFDA Annual Convention & Showcase.
