ÂÌñÒùÆÞ

Dear Members and Annual Meeting Participants,

It is with regret we write to inform you that we have determined ÂÌñÒùÆÞ’s 2020 Annual Meeting, scheduled for November 18-21 in Boston, cannot be held in person due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This is particularly disappointing because 2020 marks the 120th anniversary of ÂÌñÒùÆÞ’s founding, and we had a particularly special meeting planned.

Even though the pandemic has forced us to hold a different type of meeting, the ÂÌñÒùÆÞ staff and Program Committee are preparing to rework this exciting program into a virtual format that will deliver the full content of our record-breaking number of submissions in a manner that will serve our community most effectively. This is a complicated endeavor, but we are confident that the outcome will be a positive new first for ÂÌñÒùÆÞ. Please bear with us in the short term; we plan to write with more specifics by mid-July.

In the meantime, we have suspended registration for the Boston in-person meeting. We will be in touch with you by mid-July regarding the 2020 Virtual Annual Meeting logistics and other key information, including how we will handle registration fees that have already been paid.

Questions? Please call or email us.

Sharon Herbert, President
Richard Coffman, Chair of the Board of Trustees
Andy Vaughn, Executive Director
