2020 Spring Institute
Albany Guardian Society’s Institute classes are scheduled to begin on Monday, March 30, 2020 but due to the uncertainty of the COVID -19 outbreak, please be advised that these classes will not be held “in-person.” When it is safe to conduct these classes in-person, we will let everyone know.
The classes that we will be conducting will be done as a conference call and/or webinar. The classes will be approximately one hour, and we will email or call anyone that has registered with the information you will need to listen and/or watch the presentation.
Due to the unforeseen nature of this situation we want you to be aware that these classes may be cancelled at any time.
The most up-to-date information regarding the AGS Institute will be posted here.
