Potential Impacts to the VMCA Annual Conference from Winter Storm Fern

Winter Storm Fern is expected to bring widespread snow and freezing rain to Virginia this weekend and we recognize that this may potentially impact those travelling to and attending the VMCA Annual Conference next week in Virginia Beach. The weather predictions surrounding this storm have been constantly changing as we get closer to the event.

Today (1/21/26), the board met to discuss potential impacts to the meeting and how we will proceed depending on the actual outcome of the storm. As of now, we plan to continue to hold a fully in-person conference next week. However, because we recognize that this storm could bring severe travel impacts and closures, the board will re-convene on Monday (1/26/26) to determine if this is still the best course of action.

If you are scheduled to be a speaker at the Conference, expect an email from Janice Pulver with additional instructions to prepare for the event.

On Monday afternoon, please watch your email and the VMCA website for any updates related to the weather and Annual Conference events.
