CDL has rescheduled our programs for March and April to at least June. We are grateful to our sponsors, our venues and our current attendees for continuing to support our education programs as we confirm the new dates. As of now our plans for May and June remain the same, but we will monitor the situation, defer to the knowledge and recommendations of public health professionals and make decisions that protect the health and safety of all involved.
CDL staff are all working from home – and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. It was our intention to move to a virtual office in June 2020, so this has simply accelerated our plans. All staff contacts remain the same, although there may be small delays in processing any cheques as we transition our mail delivery (see our new address below in my signature). If you’d like to contact any staff member, I recommend you use email.
I hope you are all keeping safe and healthy, and thank you for your continued support through this unprecedented situation.
