For research scientist, Angela Lee, Ph.D., and research associate, Katelyn McCoy, the changes and challenges brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic not only affected how they conduct their work at HumRRO but also how they serve in leadership positions at the Personnel Testing Council of Metropolitan Washington (PTCMW<\/a>).<\/p>\n When both were elected to their positions\u2014Lee as vice president and McCoy as secretary\u2014they anticipated planning a full slate of in-person learning sessions and networking events, as well as PTCMW Board meetings. Covid-19 restrictions forced a quick pivot for Lee and McCoy, who plan and execute PTCMW events, to virtual learning.<\/p>\n \u201cThe outgoing vice president plans events for January and February of the following year, so the first event I planned was for March right when everything shut down,\u201d recalled Lee. \u201cKatelyn and I huddled together and came up with a way to offer the program virtually with input from the PTCMW Board. Thanks to our familiarity with working virtually with colleagues and clients at HumRRO, we were well-versed with the technology and format needed to pull off a successful event.\u201d<\/p>\n
