<div dir="ltr">I'm not part of either of the conference committees involved, but I don't see a way we can responsibly move forward on the conference. I say this with deep concern for all the stakeholders and great personal disappointment. I have a feeling we will probably see further travel restrictions between now and then and even if we go forward, a large contingency of our attendees would either opt-out of going or be forced not to go. I have grave concerns about the financial impact of this on the project, so I'm very interested to learn more details. <br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Mar 12, 2020 at 11:47 AM Goben, Anna <<a href="mailto:AGoben@library.in.gov">AGoben@library.in.gov</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">The Conference Committee has conferred and has recommended cancelling the 2020 Evergreen conference given the state of travel in GA right now. They have requested that the board discuss the matter and provide a final decision. Requests
have further been made for legal review about the obligations currently under contracted for this event. If no decision is made before then, I anticipate we’ll undergo a formal vote on the matter at our meeting next week so that we can minimize the fiscal
damage to any parties involved should the final decision be to cancel.<u></u><u></u></p>
