NBBQA Annual Awards of Excellence
As everyone knows, due to Covid-19, we were, once again unable to host our annual conference. But this did not stop us from having the Awards of Excellence. Although virtual, the AOE was well received by all who watched. It has been viewed by almost 3,000 times and all positive reviews, considering the circumstances.
