Due to the continued spread of the COVID-19 novel coronavirus and the unprecedented challenges it poses to communities across Pennsylvania and around the world, PAPSA has decided to cancel its 42nd Annual Conference, which was to be held April 1-3, 2020 in Williamsport. PAPSA’s utmost concerns, as always, are for those it serves and the decision to cancel is in keeping with the most recent guidance on the state, local, and national levels and is in the best interests of the health and safety of PAPSA’s members, sponsors, and presenters.

The cancellation of the conference is the result of PAPSA Executive Board action and there are no plans to reschedule this year’s conference. The Board has also decided that all monies are to be refunded in full to registrants and sponsors. That process will begin in the very near future.

The Board also expresses its sincere thanks to the Genetti Inn and Suites in Williamsport for their kindness during this unprecedented situation. The Genetti staff has been absolutely terrific to work with.

PAPSA also thanks all involved for their understanding, patience, and support during these difficult times and looks forward to serving them both now and in the future.
