As you are aware, the world is the midst of a coronavirus outbreak. Since the World Health Organizationhas declared a world pandemic and there are reported cases in Arkansas with all likelihood that there will be more, the AMA Board has decided to postpone the 2020 annual meeting.

The AMA Board has been staying up to date on the latest developments and for the safety and wellbeing of our members, and our home communities, we feel it prudent to not gather at DeGray Lake Resort State Park March 30 – April 1 as planned.

We are currently investigating alternatives including, but not limited to, re-scheduling the annual meeting, having a shortened annual meeting, or having a virtual meeting. Please bear with us as we work through these alternatives while continuing to consider the future course of this virus in our communities during this rapidly evolving situation.

If you have made lodging reservations for the annual meeting you will need to individually cancel. We ask for your patience regarding refunds since we are pursuing rescheduling the meeting and would be able to just transfer your registration. 

We will continue to provide updates through our website, emails, and social media platforms. If you have individual concerns, please email, arkansasmuseums@gmail.com.
