2020 SDA-HPERA Convention

Convention Update

As of Sunday, March 15, 2020:

The SDA-HPERA executive committee met to discuss how to best proceed with our April 20 convention in Salt Lake City in light of the COVID-19 situation. We had been watching the public health recommendations develop over the past couple of weeks. With that context, and more travel restrictions being placed by employers as well, we voted to cancel our in-person convention in Salt Lake City. However… we are working to still have our Convention, just virtually. So please still plan on attending (remotely) all day on Monday, April 20. We will post details as we complete them.

Look for additional info this coming week in the following places:

emails on our organization’s email list-serv;
here, on the www.sdahpera.org web page (2020 Convention page ); or
our Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/sdahpera/

Your executive committee members realize this is a stressful time for everyone. So, be good to yourself, your colleagues, and especially to your students.
