MVMA Regrettably Forced to Cancel Summer Meeting The MVMA Board of Directors has regrettably been forced to cancel the Summer Meeting which was previously rescheduled for August 27-29 in Missoula. Given the rise in COVID cases, the majority of the meeting speakers and vendors were recently prohibited from traveling and participating in person. In addition, the Missoula County Health Department’s evolving meeting restrictions would have made the gathering prohibitive. MVMA leadership and staff made a valiant effort to execute an in-person event and discussed proceeding with a virtual format, but determined it was not a cost efficient and viable option at this time. The Board extends its sincere appreciation to Dr. Beth Blevins for the time and effort she devoted to planning an outstanding event for the membership and regrets the ultimate outcome. The Association wishes to also thank the members and allied partners who had already registered and will begin processing reimbursements August 1. The Missoula Hilton Garden Inn will cancel reservations with no penalties, but members are encouraged to call the hotel (406-532-5300) as soon as possible to cancel. If you have questions regarding refunds, please contact Jenny Bloomquist, Association Coordinator at 406-447-4259 or [email protected] MVMA will now focus on hosting a Winter Meeting, under the direction of Dr. Cara Voss, January 23-25 at the GranTree Inn in Bozeman. The meeting will be expanded to include a limited number of trade show exhibits, as well. Watch for registration information this fall. Virtual CE Opportunities
