Dear ACURILEANS, Spporters and Friends,

As you are aware, the Coronavirus is rapidly spreading and has now been upgraded by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a pandemic. It is now advised that countries worldwide take preventative measures to anticipate the further spread of this deadly virus. To this end, with the approval of the Executive Council and the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) of ACURIL 2020 Bahamas, the decision was taken to postpone the June 7-11, 2020 conference in the Bahamas until 2021.

For those who have already made flight and hotel bookings, please call and cancel. This letter can also be used as documentation, if necessary, to receiving reimbursement for fund already committed.

Thanks for your understanding and support in this matter. Together we will do our part to eliminate the Coronavirus. You will be informed via the ACURIL Portal, the conference web page and Cybernotes in SMORE regarding decisions that will move us further.

Sincerely,

Berthamae Walker, Ph.D.
President, ACURIL 2019-2020
