To say that the coronavirus situation was a challenge is an understatement, but the Home Technology Specialists of America (HTSA) was up to the challenge and able to help its members stay focused, informed and growing in 2020 by constant refinement of its programs.

Early on in the pandemic, HTSA’s Board of Directors and Leadership developed a strategic plan of action that addressed both the business and health perspectives.

The group admits there was a bit of a fear factor in the early days of COVID-19, as everyone struggled to understand the coronavirus, its nature, its impact, how to adjust operations in the face of the ever-changing recommendations from the CDC, WHO, and a plethora of state and local health officials. So early on, HTSA leadership sought to address these concerns and keep members focused on their businesses.
