Forum Resources
With COVID-19 cases increasing, the risk to be together varies and only you and your Forum members can make a truly informed decision on your risk.
If you continue to meet in-person, please take precautions to stay healthy, follow any local/government guidelines and stay informed through the Centers for Disease Control website or a similar organization for your location.
If you decide your forum wants to meet virtually, the forum committee has created some virtual best practices that can be found in these documents:
