[Sbs] SBS Collaboration Meeting followup and clarification: remote participation strongly encouraged

[Andrew Puckett]

Hello all, 

Per additional guidance and clarification from the lab management, I would like to strongly encourage remote participation and limit in-person attendance at the meeting to participants who are already onsite/in-residence at JLab; i.e., those for whom no travel is necessary. I have already canceled my travel plans and will participate remotely. 

Take care of yourselves, and I will see you (remotely) next week. 

Best regards,
Andrew

Remote participation will be facilitated via BlueJeans, with instructions forthcoming. Please follow all applicable current travel policies of both JLab and your home institutions, and use your best judgement as to whether to attend the meeting in person.
