Dear VSS Membership,

 

The VSS Board has been closely monitoring the rapidly evolving COVID-19
situation. Given the increasing scope of the disease, the declaration of a
National Emergency in the US, the increasing number of governmental and
institutional travel bans, and the need for social distancing in order to
fight the COVID-19 outbreak, we regretfully must cancel the VSS 2020
in-person meeting, which was to be held May 15-20 in St. Pete Beach,
Florida. We did not take this decision lightly, but protecting the health of
our VSS community is our highest priority, and at this juncture we cannot
responsibly move forward with the meeting.

 

The Board will now turn its attention to whether it is feasible to hold a
Virtual VSS Meeting this year, with the goal of facilitating the
high-quality scientific exchange that is the hallmark of our Annual Meeting.

 

One important factor in our decision to cancel the in-person meeting now is
our desire to provide as much advance notice as possible for those who were
planning on attending, so that they can manage travel and accommodation
cancellations. Once we have established whether it is feasible to offer
remote participation, we will make a detailed announcement outlining the
options. These will include the option to refund registration for those who
choose not to participate.

 

We thank everyone who has already invested their time and energy in planning
for VSS 2020, and will be in touch as soon as possible with more
information. We apologize in advance if we are unable to respond quickly to
individual questions and suggestions.

 

Sincerely,

The VSS Board of Directors
