As we begin to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, timely and reliable information is essential, and the facts are changing quickly. With this in mind, the MMA has been publishing The Beacon as a PDF, to ensure that we get the very latest information to members as quickly as possible.
The digital format also means that we can continue this valuable service uninterrupted during this emergency period, when so many are working remotely. The MMA published the first-ever PDF Beacon in April 2020.
