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. The 2020 Annual SEARCH Membership Group Meeting and Symposium (which had been scheduled for July 20-22, 2020) is postponed until January 25-27, 2021. The event will be hosted at the St. Louis Union Station Hotel, located in St. Louis, Missouri. More details regarding the meeting will be forthcoming.
2. All SEARCH staff travel is suspended through at least September 1, 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 September 1, 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).
