Coronavirus – members’ support Dear ALTO members,   You must be very busy and finding it hard to keep up with the rapidly changing circumstances you’re facing with your businesses. Even between the short time of me starting to work on this e-mail and sending it out, Ireland has closed all schools including language schools in an attempt to slow down the epidemic of COVID-19.  We would like to offer you any support we can to help you through this difficult time by staying in touch and creating opportunities to exchange ideas with one another and share information within the membership. Please use these platforms as much as you can and send me ideas how to make them better, thank you!  Members’ forum on the webpage During our previous conference call on 4th March members expressed their need for a regular but more flexible communication platform, so we set up a forum on the ALTO webpage. We opened a separate discussion thread in each question we discussed during the call, and you can add new topics you would like to chat about.  COVID-19 Forum Quick survey about the implications In view of the recent developments with COVID-19 we decided to run a closed group survey with ALTO members to understand better the feeling on the situation among our members.  There are only a handful of questions and this super short survey wouldn’t take more than a few seconds of your time but would produce valuable insight that would later be shared with our members. Please complete before 5pm GMT on 16th March, thank you! Members’ survey – complete now ALTO members’ call 10am GMT 18th March Following our previous call on 4th March we will organise another conference call to members at 10:00 an GMT on Wednesday 18th March. Please send in your questions you would like to discuss with the group and we go with the ones asked by the most first.  Conference call 18th March – register As we mentioned before, it’s at times of crisis like this is when you need use this fantastic network of people you’re connected with through ALTO, so make sure you take advantage of the opportunities and send in more ideas if you feel we can do better!  Thank you and have a lovely weekend,  Reka Copyright © 2020 ALTO, All rights reserved.
