In light of recent actions by federal, state, and local governments throughout the nation advising citizens and businesses to sharply limit their activities in order to slow the spread of the Coronavirus and the COVID-19 disease, SEARCH has taken several actions that will impact our Members, staff, and operations.

1. Plans for SEARCH’s 2021 Membership Group Meetings, including the 2021 Winter Meeting, held in January, and the 2021 Annual Meeting, held in July, are underway. More details regarding each meeting will be forthcoming soon.
2. All SEARCH staff travel is suspended through at least December 31, 2020, and may be extended further depending on evolving circumstances.
3. All SEARCH staff have been authorized and encouraged to work from home through at least December 31, 2020, and may be extended further depending on evolving circumstances.
4. SEARCH is reviewing and testing a variety of tools that will enable and support online meetings, training, technical assistance and conference/workshop presentations.

We are continuing to closely monitor the rapidly evolving nature of the Coronavirus and COVID-2019, and will continue to follow recommendations on prevention and spread of the virus by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
