Events Cancellations due to COVID-19

Like many other organizations, FWSF has worked to stay on top of news about the spread of COVID-19. Based on public health advisories about how to minimize the risk of the spread of the virus, we are canceling all in-person events until June, including the April and May brown bag lunches, the April 21 cyber-security trends event, and the March 25 East Bay networking coffee. We will be in touch regarding the Scholarship Luncheon, currently scheduled for Thursday, June 4th. We continue to receive scholarship applications and the talent is astonishing. Read more
