CSF CJSF 2020 Conferences and Coronavirus

Mar 2, 2020

The CSF Board of Directors is aware that any imminent reported health issue could stop CSF/CJSF from holding our 5 annual student spring conferences.

CSF will make all decisions based on information received directly from the school hosting the conference and health officials in the geographic area related to the CSF/CJSF meeting.

The health of our students, teachers, and board members is our primary consideration for any decision.

Should a decision be made to cancel a conference, CSF will post the cancellation on its website, as well as email all advisers for all chapters, and alternate plans will be made for student awards.

Sincerely,
Renee Tyler and Richard Roe
