BALTIMORE - Marylandian -- For more than 30 years, CCG has been a leader in diversity and inclusion. While our nation faces challenges with the COVID-19 outbreak, we are confident that the steps being taken will address the spread of this virus. For that reason, we are continuing to plan our upcoming Women of Color STEM Conference from October 8-10, 2020 in Detroit, MI. This will be the 25th anniversary of the conference and promises to be the best ever.

In order to ensure an enjoyable and healthy experience, we are working closely with our hotel partner and the convention center to provide a safe environment.

Steps that are being taken include:

• Multiple hand sanitizer locations will be available throughout the hotel and convention center
• Travel-sized hand sanitizers will be provided at registration
• The hotel and convention center have agreed to increase cleaning of high-traffic areas

We encourage everyone to safeguard their personal health. If you are experiencing fever, respiratory symptoms, or believe you are sick, we recommend staying home. In addition, before, during, and after the conference, we encourage you to wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

We will be staying up to date on the most recent developments of the COVID-19 outbreak from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and local governments. To read more about what you can do to protect yourself, visit the CDC's website.

Meanwhile, we hope that you'll hold October 8-10, 2020 to experience the conference. Hotel reservations and early bird registration will open in June.

Stay safe, and we look forward to seeing you in October!
