Dear MAAC Membership,
After much deliberation and discussion it is with profound sadness that the Executive Board has voted to cancel this year’s MAAC. We have been contacted by numerous members who have said that they or their company or university have cancelled all travel for employees, faculty and students. I have even been told not to travel to any conferences. The Board feels that this will only increase daily and that we would rather have a well-attended, stress-free conference, than not.
In the coming days the Board will be working on refunding everyone’s meeting registration fees. You will be receiving an email telling you how the refund will happen. All members will be contacted about this decision and it will also be posted on social media and the MAAC website.
The Board will also be discussing whether to reschedule the conference later in the year. I hope all of you understand that this decision was based on the health and wellbeing of all of our membership.
Gregory D. Lattanzi
MAAC President
