Important Coronavirus Update from our CEO Ona Alston Dosunmu and our President Emilio Varanini

March 13, 2020

Dear CLA Members,

In light of the evolving guidance regarding social distancing and other efforts to mitigate spread of the novel coronavirus and the disease it causes—COVID-19, CLA has made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel all in-person CLA meetings, events and activities for March and April.

We will assess and make decisions about May at a later date. The health and safety of the guests and speakers at our meetings and of our members are our paramount concerns during these extraordinary times.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We are working diligently to determine how to best deliver the content we had planned for our March and April events and you will be notified of program options as soon as they are finalized.

We appreciate your patience during this highly unusual time, and we truly value your participation in CLA.

With Warm Regards,
Ona Alston Dosunmu
C.E.O. & Executive Director

Emilio Varanini
President
