Dear SOHA Members and Friends:
We are sending this message with some updates and reminders. Please cancel your Embassy Suites Las Vegas hotel reservations under the SOHA 2020 group rate at this time if you have not already done so. We have tentatively postponed the SOHA 2020 conference to September 11-13, 2020, but we must wait to see how developments with COVID-19 unfold before confirming and finalizing hotel negotiations. We plan on gathering at UNLV Lied Library when conditions improve.
We ask and encourage folks who have already registered for SOHA 2020 to agree to applying their registration for the postponed conference. We request that SOHA 2020 registrants not ask for refunds due to our nonprofit status and financial hit and struggle from these unprecedented events. If you cannot attend the postponed SOHA 2020 conference, please consider donating the paid registration amount to SOHA. Otherwise, if the registrants are under financial strain and have special circumstances, please contact the SOHA office at soha@unlv.edu and we will work with individuals on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your patience and understanding in these matters.
We wish you all well and please take care during these times. Thank you for being a part of our SOHA family and supporting one another.
With Warmest Regards,
SOHA 2020 Planning Committees
SOHA Program Co-Chairs, Farina King and Ryan Morini
