Dear Members,

\n\n

We understand the growing concern surrounding the COVID-19 virus across our communities. Last week, California Governor Gavin Newsome has announced new recommendations aimed at reducing the risk of COVID-19 exposure – including postponing large events. With our members health and safety in mind, the chapter will be postponing the following chapter events:

\n\n

Community Faire & Educational Programs – March 31

Central Coast Educational Program – April 2

Santa Barbara Luncheon Program - April 16 (cancelled)

Chapter Luncheon - April 28

\n\n

If you signed up as a sponsor or exhibitor at either of the above mentioned events, the chapter’s staff will be in touch in the coming week on new event dates.

\n\n

As California is in a state of emergency, we know there is growing concern amongst our association members regarding the health and well-being of their community in regards to holding board meetings, common area concerns and social activities at their association. It is important to recognize that CAI and its members are not health care professionals. We encourage you to follow the advice of public health officials and the CDC as your primary source of current information and guidance. For more information, please view the links below.

\n\n

\n\n

We offer our deepest sympathy to anyone who has already been affected by the virus and encourage everyone to stay healthy and safe!

\n\n

For further questions or concerns, please reach email me or call 805-658-1438.

\n\n

Thank you.

\n\n

Leah Ross

Chapter Executive Director
