New measures to slow the spread of novel coronavirus in our state prohibit all gatherings with more than 50 participants until further notice, and all gatherings of 50 participants and below unless previously announced criteria for hygiene and social distancing are met.
We take these measures seriously as an organization that hosts frequent gatherings. The Chamber has reviewed all of our events through May 15, and we have decided to postpone, cancel, or pivot them to a webinar as follows:

If you are registered for these events, you will receive additional communication about next steps.
We will continue to monitor guidance from Public Health and make decisions accordingly about events during this time and after May 15. We will keep our members updated as we make these decisions.
