Dear Academy Fellows, Members and Guests:
I hope that all of you are staying healthy and safe during these unprecedented times. In my last message, I had shared the board's decision to cancel the annual scientific session in New Orleans, Nov 1-3, 2020. We will have our annual business meeting and officer installation this year on Sat Oct 31 at 10 am EST through an online platform.
The scientific program committee has worked on providing a series of online webinars, The webinars will be held once a month on Saturdays from October to March. Each webinar will last for one hour, forty minutes for the presentation and twenty minutes for a moderated discussion.

A tentative date for the poster presentation has been set for October 17, 2020, more details to follow in the near future.
