Tri-State Indefinitely Postponed Due to COVID-19
Greetings Florida TRIO!
As we garner more information from our state government and its health organizations, I wanted to provide the membership with updates regarding FL TRIO activities for the remainder of the semester. Please note that the state governor, the State University System and Florida College System have made announcements regarding canceling or creating online platforms for our K-12 and University institutions due COVID-19 (coronavirus) for the remainder of the system. Due to these changes, the Tri-State Conference Committee and our state boards have decided to indefinitely postpone our annual Tri-State Conference.
Sustaining the health and well-being of our members is our priority and we want to be sure that we minimize the risk of anyone becoming infected. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we will work with those of you who have submitted registration fees for the event. For registration refunds please contact Treasurer Lawanna Hair at [email protected]. Please be advised that if you have reserved your sleeping room(s) that you will need to contact the hotel directly to cancel. These cancellations will not incur a penalty. If your institution has already submitted a check to the hotel the sales team will send a refund to your institution by request.
This also serves as a reminder that our annual Student Initiatives has been canceled and all Policy Seminar leaders will host meetings with federal congressmen next week in an online platform. Thank you all for your understanding and patience as your leadership continues to make changes to ensure we keep all personnel safe.
If you have questions, please forward those questions to me directly at [email protected].
