A message from GABC regarding COVID-19

Dear members, friends & partners of GABC!

We are monitoring the spread and impact of the coronavirus here in Massachusetts and are reaching out to you today with the following announcements:

Upcoming Events:

Out of precaution and following guidance from public health officials, the following two events scheduled for March have been postponed:

Architectural Tour of the Goethe-Institut (original date March 3)
Life Sciences Panorama: Deconstructing the Cost of Healthcare (original date March 12)

We will notify you as soon as we have more information on the rescheduled dates. In the meantime, if you registered and purchased a ticket, you can choose to attend the rescheduled event, receive a credit to attend another event in the future, get a refund, or donate your registration fee to GABC. Please contact us at info@gabc-boston.org.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and make decisions regarding rescheduling or adding any new events to the calendar on a case-by-case basis. We will notify you via email and post updates on our Web site.
