To all Annual Meeting attendees:

We continue to monitor the CDC recommendations and guidelines and are encouraged that Florida continues to see a decrease in new COVID cases.  Even with the downward trend, we want to make sure that all attendees are comfortable while at the conference.  

To that end, please provide proof of vaccination or a negative covid test completed within 72 hours of your arrival to the conference.  Please click on the following link to upload your card or test to the Association’s confidential portal:

We have also planned for an express, touchless registration process, which will include the use of a meeting app, which houses all education materials, attendee listing, schedule, etc.  Each attendee will receive instructions for the easy-to-use meeting app (Guidebook) within the next week.

This express process will also include delivery of a welcome package directly to your hotel room, shortly after you check-in at the Opal Grand.  The package will contain your name badge, lanyard and some special goodies!  How exciting!

We will also have hand sanitizers and instant read temperature equipment for use when necessary, as well as certain designated mask-only seating areas.  The Opal Grand has its own procedures for cleanliness and processes to assist in the safety of all guests staying or attending functions at the resort. 

We believe that all of the above will best serve our attendees and create an enjoyable conference!  We look forward to seeing each of you soon!

Thank you to all who have registered for the 7^th Annual Commercial Collection Agencies of America conference in late October. We have a great slate of education, networking and a little fun planned for all of you.

We would like to let you know that we are very cognizant of the COVID environment and we are constantly monitoring the CDC and, in this case, the State of Florida for suggested guidelines for meetings. Florida saw a decrease of about 47% in new COVID cases in the past two weeks, the largest drop in the United States, according to a Fortune analysis of New York Times data.

Even with that downward trend, we are sensitive to our members’ needs and safety and intend to have part of our functions indoors and part of them held outside. The Wednesday yacht excursion has 4 decks and ample outside space for all attendees.

We will have hand sanitizers to supplement sanitizers that attendees may already have in their possession. All attendees will need to bring and wear masks in the designated mask only areas. We will have certain designated mask only seating areas/tables for the safety and comfort of those attending. We also have instant read temperature equipment for use when necessary. The Opal Grand has its own various procedures for cleanliness and processes to assist in the safety of all guests staying at the resort or attending functions at the resort.

We look forward to seeing each of you soon!
