Message from the President

SMPS Sacramento will continue to monitor the COVID-19 news daily, looking to resources such as the California Department of Public Health and US Center for Disease Control and Prevention to help inform our decisions about future events. We are also receiving guidance from SMPS Headquarters https://www.smps.org/covid-19-update/. Until further notice, all programs will be hosted using the Chapter's Zoom account.
