Virtual Meeting: BEST LIX

The 59th Meeting of BEST

Virtual MeetingWill be held on Friday,  19 June 2020 on ZOOM

We thank you all for your understanding and patience regarding the decision to hold a virtual meeting, and hope that you are all currently well and staying safe and healthy.

Though we all wish we could meet in person, this, unfortunately, will not happen until our meeting in Washington, DC in late September 2020. It will depend on what the world would look like at that point in time, but we are optimistic that we will be able to travel and see each other in the Mayflower Hotel and hold the BEST dinner in the International Spy Museum.

This meeting will be held from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM North American Eastern Time. The Zoom meeting will be recorded and posted shortly following the live meeting. 

You must register in advance for this meeting. The link is posted in the members' area of this website, and will also be sent to pre-approved guests.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
