UPDATE: MHEDA 2021 Annual Convention
MHEDA members will have the opportunity to meet in person at the annual convention! Due to the continued threat of COVID-19, MHEDA has decided to delay, not cancel, the 2021 convention and is currently working with the JW Marriott Austin to secure dates in August. We will keep members updated as we work through all of the details necessary to make this event possible. Our primary goal is to ensure the safety of our members and the MHEDA team while coming together in-person
