EANGUS 2020 CONFERENCE: CANCELED
The Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States (EANGUS) announces that it has accepted the host state’s recommendation to cancel the 49th EANGUS National Conference scheduled to be held in Little Rock, Arkansas, 9-12 August 2020. This decision is based on continued public health concerns, ongoing restrictions, and the uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
EANGUS appreciates the hard work and preparation of the Arkansas Enlisted Association and respects their recommendation which takes into consideration the health and safety of our members, exhibitors, and guests. As a result, the EANGUS Executive Council voted to cancel the annual conference for the first time in our history. The 50th Anniversary Conference will be held 8-11 August 2021 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Little Rock, Arkansas was approved as the host of the conference in 2022, with Rochester, Minnesota to follow in 2023.
Additional information regarding refunds, cancellation of hotel reservations, and other conference-related programs will be announced by 1 June 2020. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
