Due to disruptions caused by changing schedules and reductions in free time during the COVID-19 pandemic, FHISO mostly suspended operations from April 2020 through March 2021. As such, an annual report for 2020 was not produced and all memberships have been extended by a year. We are happy to report that FHISO is operating once again and are hopeful 2021 will prove to be a much more productive year.
