As a result, we have made changes to some of our upcoming events, as detailed below. We hope you understand that further changes may be made as time progresses, but at this stage, only the events mentioned below have been affected.... This is a quickly changing environment and the committee is dedicated to providing our members and network with information in a timely fashion however, please be patient with us while we work on the logistics of changing the format of some of our events from face-to-face to remote-access only. Changes to events: March 26 Members only Roundtable is postponed until further notice.
