First, I hope this message finds you safe and healthy as the world combats the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). Our thoughts and prayers go out to those impacted by this tragic situation.
As a valued supporter, I would like to assure you that the IGFA team is taking the necessary measures to ensure the health of our team members and our organization during these troubling times.
Heeding recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), all IGFA events scheduled for the next eight weeks are postponed until further notice. Additionally, effective immediately, IGFA Headquarters will be closed and all IGFA staff will be working remotely. We will continue to provide updates relative to IGFA events and programs as this situation evolves. Please contact us directly at [email protected] with any questions.
