Hi folks-Not to be an alarmist, but I hope you're having conversations as an organization about appropriate responses should the coronavirus situation in the U.S.
change. Colleges are beginning to put restrictions on student and faculty travel--so far, only international travel--but there could well be further advisories
and cancellations as the situation develops, and these could well have a serious impact on the organization and on the success of the convention.
I know it's very preliminary and hopefully the situation does not deteriorate, but please do keep us all in the loop as decisions are made--even informing
the advisors at this point that you are having discussions would be reassuring to hear.
my two cents, and thanks for all the work you do,
Becky L.
