Hello EONY,
Along with the city of New York, Tri-State Area, and the rest of the world, we have been closely following the COVID-19 situation. Our EO members, families and friends' health and safety are of our utmost concern. To that end, I want to personally update you on the steps we are taking. For the health of the chapter, the EONY Board has decided to postpone all chapter events effective immediately through April 20th.
As I have witnessed through Hurricane Sandy and other unfortunate tragic circumstances, this is when our EO community becomes even stronger and more connected in support of one another. Although we are unable to meet in person, this is where the EO message board (google group), video calls, and other communication methods used, become even more of an invaluable tool as we help each other navigate these unprecedented times. There are 200+ members just in our EONY Community to help each other through our challenges.
If any circumstance arises - professionally or personally - please contact me for assistance. The Board is ready to put an emergency task force in place for anyone in need.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will send updates as they arise. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
Ameen Nassiri
EONY Chapter President 2019 / 2020
