Due to the evolving and unpredictable international situation with the novel coronavirus COVID-19, the National Ataxia Foundation (NAF) Medical Research Advisory Board has chosen at this time to cancel all activities involving all NAF sponsored meetings in Denver from March 2^nd-7^th including ARCA Global, the Ataxia Investigators Meeting (AIM), and the Annual Ataxia Conference (AAC). Although we understand this may create an inconvenience to many of you, we cannot, at this time, assure attendees that the risk of possible infection is minimal as this meeting will bring international travelers from geographic areas with active infections (e.g., China, Iran, Italy, Japan, South Korea). Lastly, we cannot risk exposure of our vulnerable patient population to infection or, by proxy, risk bringing health care practitioners from around the country who serve vulnerable populations in close proximity to travelers from infected geographic areas. We also cannot, in good conscience, risk exposure to the city of Denver, which at present has no confirmed cases. Although the risk may be considered low by some, the situation is changing on a daily basis, both nationally and internationally, and we have therefore chosen to adopt a zero-risk policy to prevent any potential harm to those we care and serve. Thank you for your understanding. 

All of the details on reimbursement will be provided at a later date.
