Coronavirus (COVID-19)

WFRC's Response Concerning COVID-19

All of us at WFRC, along with all of you, are doing our part to limit the spread of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) in the State of Utah. As such, we have been teleworking for several weeks. Although we enjoy and value our face-to-face meetings with our members and partners, each of our employees are set up to work from home and we’re following the requests and recommendations of Governor Herbert and the scientists, medical experts, and public health specialists.

The WFRC team is online and available via email and cell phone. We are home, but here for you and our communities, region and state!

We encourage our members, partners, and stakeholders to be cautious, stay safe, and consider what steps you and your organization can take to help prevent the spread of Covid-19.

We hope you and your loved ones and teams are staying safe during this challenging and unprecedented time. We look forward to working with you face-to-face as soon as we’re all able.
