Events:
With the health and safety of our members in mind, and in light of the recent declaration of a national emergency by President Trump and instructions issued by Governor Gavin Newson to limit large gatherings in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the San Joaquin Valley Chapter of The Wildlife Society will be postponing our annual Natural Communities Conference, originally scheduled for Thursday March 26, 2020. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Members have the option of applying their registration costs toward the future postponed event, however we recognize that some may not have the ability to attend at a later date. As such, if you would like to receive reimbursement for your registration costs, please contact Linda at sanjoaquinvalleyTWS@hotmail.
The Chapter’s Executive Board is in active discussions regarding a future date for the conference. The postponed event will likely be held in late July or the first week of August. Information regarding the postponed event will be distributed to our members once it has been settled. As with this month’s event, the Chapter’s Executive Board recognizes that this pandemic is dynamic and because of that we will be actively monitoring federal and state recommendations regarding how to curb spread of the virus as it relates to the future postponed event.
We wish all of our members health and wellness!
