Message from the Chief Commander:

Out of concern for our employees and their families, we’ve temporarily closed the national office. The employees will be working from home in a limited capacity so responses will be delayed. We thank you for your understanding.

We are also recommending that all face to face activities, classes, Squadron and District Meetings be postponed until at least mid April as the coronavirus / COVID-19 situation is evolving rapidly. Online courses are still available.

The most effective way to prevent the spread of disease are things you do yourself.

  • Wash your hands often.
  • When you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth with a tissue or the inside of your elbow.
  • If you have flu-like symptoms, inform the people around you and stay home. If your symptoms are severe, seek medical care.
