Coronavirus COVID-19 Update - Spring Institutes Postponed
To ensure the safety and wellbeing of our ERDI Community, we have postponed our ERDI III/IV Spring Institutes that were scheduled for April 24-26, 2020 and May 1-3, 2020 in Austin, Texas.
After much consideration and rapid planning, we are pleased to share that a combined ERDI III/IV Institute has been rescheduled for this summer in Baltimore, Maryland. The combined institute will run adjacent to the already scheduled ERDI I/II Summer Institutes.
July 10-12, 2020 (ERDI III/IV Combined Institute)
July 12-15, 2020 (ERDI I)
July 15-18, 2020 (ERDI II)
During these challenging times, it’s critical that we all pull together to continue the important work we do in service of children. To that end, we understand that many of you were relying on the feedback you would have received from your R&D panels this spring. If you would like to explore the idea of a virtual panel between now and our summer institutes, our education leaders are open and willing to collaborate with you, and we’re eager to support your efforts. Please contact us if this opportunity is of interest to you, and we will schedule a time to collaboratively tailor a virtual experience that will meet your needs.
We wish all members of the ERDI Community good health, and we thank you for your partnership and flexibility as we navigate these uncertain times together.
