**Special Note**

CBA has been closely monitoring the situation with Coronavirus (COVID-19) and is committed to ensuring that all CBA events follow local, state, and national public health orders and recommendations.

As a result, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to postpone our training scheduled for Pittsburgh, PA on May 19-20th, 2020 until 2021 and convert the scheduled Nashville, TN training to a virtual event.
