<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In response to your questions, we will not be hosting a Lawrence SIM Conference this year.
<span style="color:black">After gathering input from the 2020 SIM Network Survey and from SIM Professional Development Leaders, we have organized multiple SIM Work Groups led by SIM Professional Development Leaders to reflect on and revisit organizational goals
related to supporting the SIM Network. We are looking at 2020 as a reflection year, during which these work groups will set a course for the next decade. As we pause to reflect and set this course,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>we will not be
hosting the International SIM Update Conference in 2020 in Lawrence.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
