Tyrone Taborn, the CEO of Career Communications Group, producer of Women of Color magazine's Women of Color STEM Conference has emailed a letter of support to the community during the national emergency. Below are excerpts from the email that went out this week.
While our nation faces challenges with the COVID-19 outbreak, we are confident that the steps being taken will address the spread of this virus. For that reason, we are continuing to plan our upcoming Women of Color STEM Conference from October 8-10 in Detroit, MI. This will be the 25th anniversary of the conference and promises to be the best ever.
In order to ensure an enjoyable and healthy experience, we are working closely with our hotel partner and the convention center to provide a safe environment.
Steps that are being taken include:
We encourage everyone to safeguard their personal health. If you are experiencing fever, respiratory symptoms, or believe you are sick, we recommend staying home.
We will be staying up to date on the most recent developments of the COVID-19 outbreak from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and local governments. To read more about what you can do to protect yourself, visit the CDC’s website.
Meanwhile, we hope that you’ll hold October 8-10, 2020 to experience the conference. Hotel reservations and early bird registration will open in June.
