On June 20th the IAFI Board of Directors had an on-line meeting to plan our activities for the remainder of this year. With the Covid-19 infection rate increasing in many areas because of the easing of restrictions, it seems prudent to focus most of our activities on on-line meetings and presentations. This way we continue to provide educational programs while protecting the health of our members.
Several chapters are taking different approaches to maintain some degree of member activities during this period, including:
- Conducting Zoom meetings for chapter members
- Conducting Zoom presentations by invited speakers for chapter members and the general public
- Leading “car caravan” field trips
- Recording and sharing “virtual” field trips
- Emailing ‘Photo of the Week’ to chapter members
- Partnering with other institutions and groups for educational programs
- Installing signs and markers and sharing news announcements with members
- Highway clean-up as a chapter activity while maintaining social distancing
Watch for notices from chapters and on this website as events are scheduled. We look forward to the time we can resume more in-person activities.
