On behalf of the IAVM Board of Directors and Staff, we would like to extend our deepest concern and support for our members, friends, colleagues and events impacted by the current 2019 novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) health emergency. As you know, IAVM remains in constant contact with federal and local agencies, as well as our membership, regarding the current status of how COVID-19 is affecting our industry so as to stay abreast of the situation to make the best decisions and offer support. We encourage you to keep checking using and commenting on our own VenueNet and our COVID-19 Outbreak Resources webpage for more information.
We are supported and being encouraged by the Executive Committee to offer town hall focused webinars to keep our industry informed and collaborating professional to professional. We are working now to schedule those, and will provide information on those offerings soon.
The Executive Committee has also called a full board meeting for later today to discuss ways in which we can better serve our members during this time of challenge. We will send out additional information regarding the board meeting soon after.
*As of today, SES, VMS, VC20 remain scheduled. This is subject to change daily as we watch the effects of COVID-19 unfold.
As always, IAVM leadership and staff are here to assist in any way we possibly can. Do not hesitate to reach out for assistance.
Brad Mayne, CVE
IAVM President & CEO
