2020 MSAN Institute, April 23-24, 2020, Madison Concourse Hotel, Madison WI

THE 2020 MSAN INSTITUTE HAS BEEN CANCELLED

The 2020 MSAN Institute was scheduled to be held April 23-24 in Madison, WI. We received many outstanding proposals from across our districts, demonstrating once again that one of the strengths of the MSAN network is our commitment to share our best practices in service of our mission.

As with many educational organizations holding in-person events this spring, we have been evaluating how COVID-19 might affect our plans for the Institute. After reviewing protocols from national and local public health organizations, engaging in conversations with colleagues here at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and consulting with the Institute planning team and our Governing Board President, we have made the decision to cancel the 2020 MSAN Institute.  

Please let us know if you have any questions about this decision. Additionally, please know that we are thinking of each of you daily as you guide your students, families, and staff through this complex public health situation. 

Sincerely,
Madeline and Connie
