* Because a pandemic and state of emergency was declared by the U.S. President early in 2020, conferences normally held by the association were mostly suspending and TCHOA board meetings were held virtually using the guidance outlined in the Governor's Emergency Declaration and Executive Order. The TCHOA Board in October 2020 voted to retain all current board members for a second year of service, with the intent to return to normal elections and board member rotations beginning with the November 2021 TCSA Annual Fall Conference & Trade Show. All four regions followed suit.
