Assembly Contingency Planning

The WCHA Assembly Planning Committee is working towards a hoped for in-person Assembly this year. But the situation with Covid is fluid and beyond our control. We may be subject to regulation by New York State and/or Paul Smith's College which could restrict the format or prevent us from going live.

So, we are trying to plan the best we can for any eventuality.

With that in mind, we are asking members and select resource people if they would pre-record a topic of interest for presentation. That way, we are prepared to run a live event if possible, or fall back to a virtual Assembly again.

Pre-recording presentations also allows contributions from folks who are unable to attend Assembly for a variety of other reasons.

If we are able to host a LIVE event, presentations by those able to attend will be done live.

Please let me know if you have a topic you would like to recommend and/or present.
