Travel Suspended due to COVID-19
On July 17, 2020, the Sister Cities Board passed the following motion: "Resolved, that SCNN will not travel or host until the U.S. State Department alters its current Level 4 Travel Advisory (link below). When modified, SCNN will IMMEDIATELY REVIEW this policy and make needed operational changes." In the interim, we are busy planning virtual exchanges and looking for volunteers to serve on an Exchange Committee that will advise the Board on "best practices" for restarting in-person exchanges.
