The IPMS/USA Executive Board and the 2020 National Convention Planning Committee are still moving forward with planning and on-time execution of the 2020 convention. We are well aware of the plethora of challenges ahead of us in the next 90 days. There are many more unknowns than there are knowns at the moment. However, with the facts on-hand we feel the convention can still be held.
The #1 consideration in planning is the health and well-being of all of our members. Some of you have reached out to me stating that since you are in a high-risk age or health group you are not willing to risk being exposed to COVID-19. We fully understand this and agree that if you are in a high-risk category, we feel that you are probably better off not coming even if all restrictions are lifted...

While we are well aware of all the social distancing and quarantine policies in place around the country these are temporary in nature and we are continuing with the assumption that by late July these will be restrictions will be lifted. The planning team will continue to track this issue closely.

To all fellow modelers,
As the current COVID-19 pandemic continues (it hasn’t peaked yet), we request that you follow state & local requests to not meet in any groups and to self quarantine if possible. This means no monthly meetings or shows. With limited testing available and no vaccines, it’s not worth the risk. Between smart phones, email, Facebook, etc., you should be able to stay in contact with your fellow modelers.
Check with your contest chairmen or the event page on the IPMS/USA website before you get in your car!
Dust off your stash and build some models. As the country music artist Gary Allan sings, “Every storm runs out of rain”.
Stay healthy & safe. Happy modeling...
