June Member Meeting to be replaced by virtual sessions

Due to the current Covid-19-related public health situation, our full support of making every effort to contain the spread of the virus, and our concern for our members' well-being and safety, we have taken the decision to cancel this year’s JMM and replace it with virtual events to the extent that is possible and meaningful. Therefore, please keep the dates set aside for the meeting clear in your calendars. 

Members will be receiving more information and details on the structure of these virtual events shortly. Anyone who has paid to attend the event will be contacted separately and reimbursed in full. 

If you have any questions in the meantime, please contact us
