MFF COVID-19 Statement
Dear Miami Finance Forum Community,
We hope you and your families are all staying well. As you are aware, the spread of COVID-19 is a quickly evolving situation and we understand that this will surround our community for an extended period of time.
During this time of great uncertainty, we’re making decisions to best position the organization for our members and guests. We have a responsibility to protect the health of our people, while also preserving our long-term ability to offer quality programs to our community. We have decided to postpone our already scheduled programs until further notice and are currently taking action to host programs virtually, as we understand the importance of staying connected throughout this time.
We appreciate your support and will continue to update our community regarding upcoming virtual programs.
Thank you!
