Chairman’s Message and Updated Conference Information

Dear FSHS Members,
 
I hope this finds you well.
 
Due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and the risks of large in-person meetings plus travel restrictions from the University of Florida and likely other institutions, the Board has voted to move our annual meeting, which was rescheduled to October 18 -20, to a virtual platform.  We also voted to shorten the length of the meeting to two days: October 19 – 20th.
 
New registration fees for the virtual meeting are:  
 
Professional Registration — $150
Student Registration — $90

Note: There are no early or late fees.
 
Cancellation Policy
On or before September 4 = Full refund less a $20 processing fee
September 5 through September 18 = 75% refund less a $20 processing fee
September 19 through October 9 = 50% refund less a $20 processing fee
On or After October 10 = No refund
 
To register go to https://ashs.org/events/register.aspx?id=1334350   Because of the virtual format, registration will close at 5 pm on October 15, so be sure to register early.
 
Note – Members who have already registered for the meeting will be refunded completely and must re-register at the lower fee.  
 
The meeting will be conducted using Microsoft Teams, so if you have a UF email account please use that as your email address.  After registering, you will receive a link to use to attend the meeting.
 
Continued prayers for the safety of you and your families and of our nation. Thank you for your understanding and for your continued support for FSHS!
 
Stay safe and all the best.
 
Gene McAvoy
Chairman of the Board
