Centurions NOW - March 23, 2020
Mar 23, 2020
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING CENTURIONS AND COVID-19
The health and safety of our members is the KC Chamber’s number one priority. In alignment with Mayor Lucas’s announcement that prohibits all in-person events of ten or more, we have made the difficult decision to postpone all Centurions in-person events and meetings for the eight weeks previously announced.
Spring and Fall Steering Committee meetings or other Chamber-hosted meetings that fall within this timeframe will still be conducted virtually, and all call-in information can be found on calendar invitations. Chamber Staff, Spring Steering, and Fall Steering will continue to monitor the situation and make decisions at that time as to how to proceed.
PROGRAMMING: If you have previously registered for a Centurions event, you will be notified as to whether or not your event will be moved to an online format or postponed for a later date. We appreciate your patience as we work through this unprecedented situation.
VOLUNTEERING: If you are currently signed up for an event that occurs during the 21-day suspension, you will still receive credit for those hours. Again, we will assess the situation in the coming weeks and make appropriate decisions at that time.
Please continue to check the newsletter and website for updates.
