<div dir="ltr">Hi All-
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>As things continue to be very fluid, the ESIP Board made the decision yesterday to move both the 2020 ESIP Summer and 2021 ESIP Winter meetings to virtual meetings. We were in the unusual situation for the Winter 2021 meeting that we had not signed a contract
for that space. Normally, we sign the January contract the January before. With that, combined with the want to provide some stability for planning to the ESIP community over the next several months, we are going to invest in virtual conferences and we hope
to reconvene in July 2021 in Burlington, VT. </div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>An announcement is <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/18bZcnt0VKaQbBKcy0qJdAmcHqnXSw78K8LPUeQqOk-s/edit?usp=sharing">
drafted here</a> and will go out to the community in the next day, but I did not want to catch any of you off guard. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks as always for your ongoing support and we are looking forward to diving in with you on Monday about how we proceed from here - </div>
</div>
