AGEG consistently monitors guidance and developments regarding the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). As the time for our 2021 Clinic grows near, we have again reviewed event safety protocols and duties of key members involved in the operation of this event. The AGEG Board of Directors are aware of the rise in cases of COVID-19 and the impact on public health, hospital systems, and funeral service. As leadership of this organization, acting with a leader mentality and in the best interest of AGEG and Embalmers across the Southeast, the AGEG Board of Directors have made the decision to cancel the 2021 AGEG Clinic (scheduled for August 23-25, 2021 in Forsyth, GA). 

Pre-registrations received for our 2021 Clinic will automatically be transferred to the 2022 Clinic. Those who pre-registered will be sent a certificate reflecting your 2021 Clinic registration for your use in confirming your attendance next year, which will be required. Note: Membership dues are payable each year regardless of clinic attendance and are not refundable due to the clinic cancellation.

ATTENTION: If you made a room reservation for the 2021 Clinic, please review the following information:

• Reservations made with the Holiday Inn Express: You must contact the hotel directly, 478-994-9697, to cancel your reservation. AGEG cannot cancel your reservation on your behalf. 
• Reservations made with the La Quinta Inn & Suites: Your reservation will be automatically cancelled. If you would like to confirm your reservations has been cancelled, call the hotel directly (478) 885-2500.

According to the AGEG Bylaws, with the cancellation of this Clinic and business meeting, the AGEG Board of Directors will remain in place until the 2022 Business Meeting.

The AGEG Board of Directors and staff appreciate your support of the association and our events. We will be announcing more information about the 2022 AGEG Clinic soon. 

As always, we encourage you to contact us if we may be of any assistance. 

The AGEG Board of Directors
