The GSBA Summer Conference occurred 2 weeks prior to the virtual Delegate Assembly as a hybrid event online and in Savannah at the Hyatt. GSBA offered 3 workshops to allow board members to receive training: Best Practices in Board Governance Workshop, Equity Workshop and the Policy Workshop. It was decided to hold the Delegate Assembly virtually to follow safety procedures and guidelines for the COVID-19 safety.
