SAME This Week: COVID-19 Resources

Introducing SAME This Week—a new limited series newsletter with information to help as you pivot in your organizations. SAME This Week will provide content and resources to keep you engaged in the Society along with news and notes related to the nation's COVID-19 response efforts and important updates from our government stakeholders and strategic partners, many of which are on the front lines of how the A/E/C community is responding. 

The work that SAME members, partners, and stakeholders do is vital to national securityand building relationships and trust through their interactions in the Society has been a critical part of how they do it for 100 years. While right now the focus must be on containing the spread of coronavirus (which means postponing in-person gatherings including national and Post events), SAME wants to help you continue to get connected, become involved, grow professionally, and stay informed, as together, we navigate this new environment for the near future.

SAME This Week will be published each Tuesday, so make sure to check your inbox for the latest every week.
