This is a unique opportunity to gain a better understanding of these complex situations. There will be an opportunity for questions and answers.

Dear BIDC Community,

Fall is almost here again and that means it is time for a new BIDC season. Thats right, in this ever changing world we currently find ourselves, for BIDC, the show will go on. Over the summer, the board has been hard at work planning an incredible season filled with the high quality programs you have come to expect from BIDC. Membership and programs for the 2020-2021 season are now available on our website, www.thebidc.org.

I encourage you to renew your membership today. Not only does your membership allow BIDC to continue providing excellent programming for the community, but it also benefits you. BIDC membership includes monthly continuing education programs (and the credits they provide), discounted pricing for workshops, listing in the BIDC directory (only members will be listed starting September 1, 2020), access to an incredible network of experienced professionals and more.

We will be kicking the 2020-2021 season off with the annual View from the Bench program on September 9, 2020. The complete list of programs for the season can be found at www.thebidc.org.

Please note that due to the COVID-19 infection risks of in person meetings as well as the state and local orders regarding the same, the board has decided to hold all of the fall programs virtually via zoom. The board will be monitoring this situation closely and, if appropriate, may have mixed (virtual and in person sessions) in the spring. However, this is not guaranteed. In the mean time, the board is planning some virtual networking opportunities in order for us all to stay connected. Stay tuned on this.

I look forward to seeing you all in the fall.

Sincerely yours,
Johanna Blumenthal
President, BIDC
