FCBA Postpones March Events, Citing Coronavirus Outbreak

FCBA postponed its March events.

President Josh Turner's email to members Monday afternoon cited "the coronavirus outbreak" that's evolving rapidly. He noted the FCC and "a number of our members’ companies and firms have put temporary travel restrictions in place, and in some cases have limited participation in public events."

Events put off for now by the legal association include CLEs, brown bags, a happy hour and a privacy symposium next week. View a list of those events here.

Since "the situation is fluid," the group isn't now changing its April and May events, Turner emailed. "We will be closely monitoring the guidance being promulgated" by the Centers for Disease Prevention and World Health Organization, "as well as the impact of the policies put in place by our members’ companies, firms, and organizations, as well as the federal government."

"If we are going to help reduce the spread of COVID 19, we need to be willing to make small sacrifices like these," Turner concluded his email. "Hopefully this disruption will be short, and we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming soon."
