[DDI-users] virtual DDI annual meetings

[Jared Lyle]

Dear DDI community,

You are invited to DDI Alliance virtual annual meetings next month.  As
Steve McEachern, Chair of the DDI Executive Board, indicated last month,
the in-person DDI Alliance annual meeting scheduled for IASSIST is not
feasible this year.  In its place, we will host two separate, shorter
virtual meetings.  This is an opportunity to learn about Alliance
activities and provide feedback on priorities for the coming year.  We
invite anyone who is interested in DDI activities to attend these virtual
meetings.

Dear DDI Member and Scientific Board Representatives,

In consultation with the DDI Executive Board, we have made a decision to
cancel the in-person annual meeting scheduled for May 18, 2020 in
Gothenburg, Sweden (the Monday of IASSIST). This decision was based on the
most recent information about the COVID-19 pandemic and in an abundance of
caution.

In place of the in-person meeting, we will hold a virtual meeting instead.
We are currently liaising as to the timing and content of the meeting given
the international spread of our membership. More information about the
virtual meeting will be shared in the coming month.

We recognise that this is an unprecedented and unique situation and
appreciate your flexibility.  Our thoughts are with everyone affected in
the DDI community.  If you have any questions or concerns, please do not
hesitate to contact the Alliance.

Regards,
Steve McEachern
Chair, on behalf of the DDI Executive Board
