I write this note during challenging times. Many of us are working from home learning to teach, or collaborate on-line. We also face challenges for the future.
First, let me address the question of our summer meetings. We are continuing to plan for the 老王2.2.7 taking place July 26-28 in Kansas City, MO. The AAEA Staff and Board are aware of the concerns and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 (coronavirus). Our top priority is the health, safety, and security of our meeting attendees. We are closely monitoring developments and we appreciate the concerns and information shared with us during this time. We will continue to evaluate and let our membership know the status of those meetings and if we do cancel what alternatives are planned.
