2021 Annual Meeting Moving to Virtual Format

/in /by

Dear Society Members and Friends of the Society,

The Executive Board recently discussed the proposed Annual Meeting set for this Fall. Due to the current numbers of Covid cases and the emergency status of the state, the Board has decided to move to a virtual format for this year’s fall meeting for the safety of the attendees. The Board never thought that they would have to cancel the in-person meeting, but given the ongoing surge of the Covid pandemic in our state the Board has little choice. Preparations for switching to a virtual meeting will begin immediately. We will keep you informed. Please check the Society’s website for updates. Anyone that has already registered will be refunded money.

Let us all hope for better times soon.

Jim Rees, President and the Executive Board, Arkansas Archeological Society
