We are sharing this moment in history, trying to find our balance as COVID-19 disrupts our daily lives and presents us with so many unknowns. Because our community’s health and wellbeing are paramount, GROW Conference AVL will be postponed.

It’s an enormous disappointment. As a community, we have done so much to make this conference a reality. We are all committed to GROW’s mission - To strengthen our mental health ecosystem and strive for professional excellence in service to our broader community. Registrants, presenters, sponsors, vendors, and volunteers - Our all-volunteer Board of Directors is deeply grateful for your support. We will overcome this setback together.

Not knowing how the next weeks and months will unfold, we are postponing GROW to a time later in the year. That time is yet to be determined and will depend on how everything unfolds. We’ve already purchased so much of what we need to turn this vision into reality, and when the time is right, this conference will happen.

We are investigating adding virtual attendance options to our in-person conference. We are communicating with our presenters on how best to fulfill GROW’s mission. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support through this process. We will continue to communicate with you as decisions can be made. All current registrations will be honored for the new dates.

Let’s all take care of each other through this time.

Sincerely,

GROW Conference AVL Board of Directors
