Staying in touch around COVID-19 related issues
We’ll be sending an invitation to your calendars for next Thursday, 14:00 UTC/07:00 PT for a special staff meeting. We’ll use this time to share additional updates, answer your questions and spend some time connecting with each other. We’re in this together and here to help however we can.

In the meantime, you can continue to find the information from this email, and all other essential COVID-19 related information, on Office Wiki. The CRT will keep these pages updated and all the information in one place. We are also working to maintain regular communications with staff who reside in countries that are currently significantly affected.

If you have any questions about travel, events, a major workstream, or coverage challenge, or anything else you may need help with, please don’t hesitate to notify and work with the CRT. We’re here to help provide support and liaise as needed. If you have a confidential or sensitive matter, please email Bryan Judan - Director of HR International Global Operations.

Thank you
None of these changes should be seen as an abandonment of our work and obligations. Rather, they are a recognition that at this moment, our work and obligations will likely need to adapt in a way we have not in the past. These are the steps we believe are necessary to support this one another so that we can continue to work, provide our movement with the support they need, and the world with the service they rely on.

Our planned work will be there waiting for us when the time comes. For now, it is time to support one another and create space for the important work that will be coming in the weeks and potentially months ahead. We need all of you to make that happen, and so we need you all to take care of yourself and your families so that you can be at your best when the need arises.

Now, please -- wash your hands and don’t touch your face!

Yours,

Katherine, the CRT (Amanda K, Amy V, Bryan J, Doreen D, Gregory V, Jaime V, Joel L, Lynette L, Ryan M, and Tony S), and the rest of the Leadership Team (Grant I, Heather W, Jaime V, Janeen U, Lisa S, Robyn A, Ryan M, and Toby N).
