FSP Members,
It is with regret we notify our Meet the Expert meeting scheduled for this week, Wednesday, March 11th has been cancelled.
Effective immediately, MassMutual has cancelled all nonessential meetings in the Boston offices in light of concerns about the coronavirus. As this was our site location, we have no other choice currently but to cancel next week’s Meet the Expert chapter meeting.
We will work with both of our speakers to reschedule this meeting for the Fall 2020.
FSP is excited to announce to Members...
