Given the rising case numbers for COVID-19, we have decided that we will hold the DesignSafe All Hands meeting
<b><u>as a virtual meeting</u></b> on September 20-21. Please stay tuned for information on exact times and the agenda for the meeting. I am disappointed to move this meeting to virtual, but it is the right thing to do at this time. I promise we will do
an in person meeting soon! </div>
