The IGHR Advisory Council and IGHR Steering Committee have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation and will be following guidelines established by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the University System of Georgia, and the University of Georgia (UGA). IGHR’s working task force reviewed many options on whether to cancel the institute in 2020 or to think outside-the-box for a new IGHR experience. We have opted for a new IGHR experience for 2020 ensuring that we continue practicing social distancing to protect the health and safety of our attendees, instructors, and volunteers.
