2020 Covid-19 MOU

Facing the challenges of the pandemic, the Board of Directors adopts a Memorandum of Understanding addressing voting at the annual business meeting.

2020 JWHA 48th Annual Conference

Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the Board of Directors has voted to postpone the 2020 JWHA Annual Conference, scheduled for St. George, Utah, until 2021. Although disappointed by the need to postpone the conference, the health and safety of our membership is our priority.

The awards for best articles and best books will be presented as usual with the accompanying announcement in September 2020.

The 48th Annual conference is now scheduled, October 21 – 24, 2021 in St. George, Utah.

During the coming months we will be providing updates on details of the 2021 Annual Conference.

We appreciate your understanding and support, thank you.
