Dear Incredible Mentors,
We hope you are well and that you have gotten or are in line to get a Covid vaccine! We miss you all and want to see you again, in person! Unfortunately, we are writing to say that we have made the difficult decision to postpone the mentor meeting until the spring of 2022. It was hard to make this decision. We realize that some places are doing very well and that travel and meeting restrictions may be lifted by September. The issue is that we would have to plan and finalize decisions now in order to hold the meeting in September, and we don’t feel certain enough to commit to paying for a venue and asking mentors to make hotel and plane reservations at this stage. We hope that by spring, the situation will be better all over the world and that travel and meeting together will feel safe.
We are thinking about alternate ways to connect with you in the fall, possibly in country groups, individually, or maybe in a larger on-line meeting. Please let us know if you have thoughts or preferences for that. We are not sure that a large on-line meeting would be satisfying since we know that what we all really want to do is to talk and catch up with each other, and zoom is hard for that!
We miss you all and hope you are well!
Carolyn and Jamila
