WCA Response to COVID-19 Pandemic
In light of the state of emergency in Michigan regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Washtenaw Contractors Association has cancelled or postponed in-person events through June. Scheduled board and committee meetings are being conducted via conference call to allow our volunteers to maintain social distancing while still addressing WCA business. WCA staff are working remotely during this time and are accessible by phone and email. Plan Room updates continue to be shared as we receive bids requests and updates.
We continue to follow CDC recommendations related to COVID-19 and regularly reassess the situation, sharing updates of our activities here and through member emails for webinars, events, and workshops.
