Now, how do we get the hotels to refund what was paid for the room?

A necessary decision - unfortunate but a hard call, made decisively and in time for an alternative to take shape.  I enthusiastically support the web-based proposal, realizing that the resources might not be available to make it happen.

Dear HamSCI Community,

I have some difficult news to share with you. As of March 11, 2020, we have continued to monitor the coronavirus situation and find that it is no longer feasible to hold an in-person HamSCI workshop this year. This has been a very difficult decision to make, as a tremendous amount of planning and effort by many people have gone into preparing for the workshop. We will refund all registrations for this event. Please take this time to cancel any travel arrangements you may have made to attend the workshop. If the University of Scranton has made arrangements for you, we will cancel them for you and be in touch with you regarding the situation.

The Science/Program Committee is discussing over the next few days the best alternative plans for the HamSCI workshop. This may mean a form all-electronic meeting using teleconference/webinar services. I will send out another e-mail over the next few days with updates on this. I will also be keeping hamsci.org/hamsci2020 up-to-date.

Thank you for all of your support! We will figure out the best way to keep everything going!
