COVID-19 Update
March 9, 2020
Dear Friends,
As we prepare for our exciting joint conference in late June, we are also aware of the potential challenges of COVID-19. Like many individuals, groups, and organizations across the country and around the world, we are keeping our eye on a rapidly evolving situation. Our conference is scheduled to take place as planned; our registration is already above 500 and it promises to be a spectacular event.
Please be assured that we are considering a wide range of possible implications of the COVID-19 situation. Our foremost commitment is to plan for a safe event. As such, we will continue to monitor directives and information from the CDC and local authorities, and the conference planning committee will meet weekly to review and to discuss any adjustments that may become necessary. We know that things will continue to change; June 23 is both a distant date and very near.
For now we are all hoping for the best, yet planning for a range of possibilities. We will keep you fully informed. We know you will all be engaged in similar processes at the school and institute level. This is an unprecedented situation and we hold our best wishes for everyone who is currently impacted.
Take care of yourselves; we wish you good health.
