The NYSPRA Executive Board has decided to cancel the NYSPRA 2020 Annual Conference that was scheduled to be held March 15-17, 2020, in Syracuse.

"I know many of you are concerned about traveling across New York at this time, and as school communicators you are serving as essential personnel in the middle of an unfolding crisis situation," NYSPRA President Adrienne Leon wrote in an email to registrants. "This is bad timing for a conference."

The decision to cancel the conference was not made lightly. The board takes pride in the organization's annual conference and was excited to bring an all-star lineup of workshops and presentations to the more than 80 registered attendees. 

Items Attendees Should Consider

- If you have already paid your conference registration fee, that will be refunded. Any checks we have not yet cashed will be returned.

- At this point, you can cancel any hotel or travel reservations you have made. Please note there is a 48-hour cancellation policy before you are responsible for a portion of the room cost.

- The board meeting scheduled for Monday, March 16, 2020, has been canceled.
