July 13-18, 2021

Due to the unprecedented circumstances surrounding the COVID 19 pandemic, the status of the NEWS 2021conference is uncertain at this time. We will be considering several options for the best way to proceed including holding a virtual conference, or postponing until 2023.  The executive board has been in touch with other regional conferences, and will be tabulating results from a membership survey before formulating recommendations for the Board of Trustees, scheduled to meet in early October.  Because we contract ahead of time with numerous instructors, as well as Smith College, and various modes of transportation and housing, we feel that the decision can not be delayed to a later time.
