Screen Time! : Annual Conference goes virtual

Inside:

• Commentary: Pandemic relief Epidemic crisis
• Local Champions
• Norfolk: CARES T.E.A.M. 

About the cover:  Remember when people got together in the same place at the same time? Really, it used to happen! For example, every October VML members would gather in the same place for our annual conference. Well, we weren’t all in the same place this year, but we did gather, and it was great to see everyone peeking out from our computer screens. Thanks for being “there.”
