What is everyone talking about this week? Yes..COVID-19 is putting a damper on our activities all across the country. Many plans are changing, conferences are being cancelled and we should all be taking precautions to stay healthy. What can we as AER members do besides wash our hands? We can look forward to our AER chapter conferences, the International AER Conference in St. Louis and NOMINATE YOUR DESERVING COLLEAGUES FOR AWARDS! 😊 Please submit completed nominations to awards@aerbvi.org by April 1st. Email or call us at 703-671-5875 with any questions. If you don’t have anyone in mind for an award, this is a good time to reach out to your fellow vision/blindness professionals and encourage them to become members. Stay healthy and take care, Paul H.
