Fellow Parliamentarians

The Coronavirus and COVID-19 disease continue to spread, and your MSAP Board of Directors is concerned about your health and safety. So the Board of Directors has canceled the 2020 MSAP Convention (previously scheduled for April 25th at the the Hilton Hotel in Bloomington).

We will continue to monitor the situation, but at this time it appears that the next MSAP Convention will be held on April 24, 2021.

The two local group that meet monthly are also suspended until further notice. They are exploring on-line gatherings.

Please take good care of yourself and stay healthy.

Robert Vokes, President
