#IOA2020 Cancelled

The IOA Board of Directors reached the decision to cancel only after concluding that it would be impossible to hold the conference as planned. The coronavirus continues to spread in Oregon (and elsewhere) and that the number of COVID-19 cases in Oregon continues to increase which has resulted in many emergency declarations and the World Health Organization made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic. The Board’s decision reflects its determination that proceeding with the conference under these circumstances could endanger the health and well-being of conference participants.

We are thinking about you all and will be working on ways to stay connected and support each other through the IOA website and other creative venues. In the meantime, the conference’s cancellation is uncharted territory for IOA, and we appreciate your patience as we work through this challenge and explore the best path forward.
