Dear Members & Vendors:
The safety and well-being of our community is extremely important to everyone at The New England Group. In recent weeks, we have seen various shows cancelled or postponed, including the Architectural Digest Design Show, and the International Home + Housewares Show. In addition, travel bans have gone into effect for some of our attendees, with others expressing travel concerns. We are most understanding of both.
Unfortunately, after analyzing the risk, we have determined it is too high to proceed with holding our Annual Membership Meeting at the Graduate (March 23, 2020) and Product & Training Show at the Rhode Island Convention Center (March 24-25, 2020). We truly are devastated to share this news with you.
If you have placed a hotel reservation at the Omni or Graduate under our room block, our team will take care of cancelling your reservation(s) on your behalf. Any reservations not made under our room block, or made at another hotel, will need to be cancelled directly by you or someone on your team.
Looking ahead, Board Members, please note our Tuesday, March 17 meeting will be held by phone, and Members, we will forgo holding a Membership Meeting this month altogether. You will receive additional details in the coming days as it pertains to Rebate distribution.
The New England Group thanks you in advance for your patience and understanding regarding this most difficult decision we have had to make.
Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns that you may have.
