IBPSA-USA Message on COVID-19
Like you, IBPSA-USA takes the COVID-19 crisis very seriously, and we are
actively monitoring events while following guidance from CDC, the World
Health Organization, and local, state and federal officials. There is no

health, safety and welfare of each other and the communities we serve.
Crises such as these remind us what is truly most important in our lives:
family, friends, and community. As we navigate these days, weeks, and
months ahead, I want you to know this: We will get through this together.
