The fallout from the COVID-19 has not affected BIIA’s operational capabilities as yet. BIIA’s Executive Committee works from their respective home offices. Thus, member and industry news coverage continues unabated.

As the effects of the crisis are being felt throughout our industry, an avalanche of COVID-19 related news has been triggered. This is clearly reflected in this newsletter. It appears many other topics have been sidelined by our contributors.

We are deeply touched by the many phone calls and messages which we have received inquiring about our wellbeing for which we are thankful. Be safe, stay well and please tell us about your experiences in managing this crisis.
