In light of recent public health events regarding coronavirus/COVID-19, ASHA Journals is making a selection of relevant articles regarding telepractice free to all readers on ASHAWire.IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
With an abundance of caution for the health and safety of our attendees and the patients they serve (who may be part of at-risk populations), MSHA has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 MSHA Convention (and all related activities and meetings), originally scheduled at Tan-Tar-A Conference Center, Osage Beach, Missouri, April 2-5. This unanimous decision was made by the MSHA’s Executive Board due to concerns about COVID-19 (Coronavirus). In the face of increasing concerns and the guidance of governmental and health agencies at the international, national, state and local level, the decision was compelled and required.
The Executive Board appreciates the countless hours devoted to planning for this Convention. We recognize the commitment of organizers, presenters, sponsors, exhibitors, attendees and staff to the success of the Convention and acknowledge the disappointment we all share in not being able to continue as planned. However, the need to cancel became apparent considering the developments over the last few days, growing travel restrictions worldwide and increasing concerns expressed by attendees.
We ask for your patience as we work through policies and procedures with respect to registration and determine the next steps. We have many details to address and will need some time to identify answers for you. We hope that this preliminary announcement can help you to plan accordingly and to adjust your travel arrangements. We will reach out with as much information as possible in the days and weeks ahead. Our priority now is communicating that the onsite 2020 MSHA Convention is canceled. Please take time to cancel your hotel accommodations.
Our association has overcome changes and challenges in the past, and we will do so again, together, as we continue to work to help others. The Executive Board and management are now beginning the hard work of determining what alternatives we can offer in other formats to assist you in meeting your continuing education requirements. MSHA will provide you with an update in the near future.
MSHA is creating a formalized refund process and will be offering that to attendees as soon as it is available. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this unprecedented time.
Please monitor your email and visit our website for updates: www.showmemsha.org.
Thank you for your ongoing support of MSHA.
