COVID-19 (coronavirus) Resources & Information

Regarding the possibility of COVID-19 spreading within the United States NIEA is taking precautionary measures to support the health, well-being, and safety of our national team, board members, partners, supporters, and their families. We will continue to listen intently to the latest messages from the CDC, HHS, DHS, and WHO officials. While the government has not suggested limiting domestic travel or imposing restrictions on travel beyond those already in place, this is clearly a rapidly evolving situation. Our goal is to ensure all measures are taken to address the health and safety concerns of all attendees at NIEA sponsored events. Please stay connected through our social media channels and website for the latest on NIEA updates.
