Dear Valued Members of the IJIS Community: Over the past several weeks, the IJIS Team has been diligently monitoring the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic and the recent surge of the Omicron variant. Given what we understand from ongoing conversations with our members or what is the experience of our peer organizations, we have ultimately decided to postpone this winter’s National Symposium to Tuesday, May 3rd and Wednesday, May 4th, 2022. This rescheduled event will be held at the Ritz Carlton, Washington D.C. As a result of these constantly changing circumstances and new District guidelines, we recently polled our membership to better understand our community’s comfort in attending a February event. The overwhelming majority of our constituents detailed their uncertainty about joining us in February due to pandemic-related concerns. This survey also indicated how critical it is to maintain an in-person atmosphere for our organization’s premier conference. As a result, we are confident that this decision will provide greater utility for you and your colleagues in attending. Although this conference will be held later this Spring, we wanted to provide you with a couple of resulting decisions/reminders:
Lastly, given the timing before our Spring Symposium, the IJIS team is looking at holding a virtual webinar to provide an update on ongoing initiatives, priorities, and opportunities for member engagement. Additional details will be forthcoming within the next month. On behalf of the IJIS Team, we appreciate your support of this decision and the continued active engagement in our community efforts. We look forward to seeing you later this spring. Sincerely, Maria Cardiellos IJIS Executive Director |
