Join us for NFPA’s 2021 Convention!
2021 has presented our communities with difficult decisions in terms of the correct approach to “return to normal” while also attempting to ensure everyone’s health and safety. As a result, NFPA, Oregon Paralegal Association (OPA), and Management Headquarters have partnered to present NFPA’s 2021 Annual Convention as a hybrid convention. We hope that the hybrid format will provide an opportunity for all members to attend: whether you are physically and financially able to travel or whether you are unable to travel for any reason, including financial restrictions, pandemic or other social and health concerns, or employer or home state-mandated travel restrictions.
The Annual Convention provides you an opportunity to attend continuing legal education sessions, network with paralegals from across the country, and set policy during the policy meeting. Participate in Convention and return to your local associations and workplaces with fresh ideas, knowledge and excitement.
