International Advancement Planning in a Time of Uncertainty

On June 9, 2019, hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong people took to the streets to protest a controversial extradition bill. At the time of this writing, the protests are now in their thirteenth week. In light of this tense and uncertain climate, international advancement staff are grappling with whether and/or how to adjust their plans for travel, meetings, and events in Hong Kong. In GG+A’s recent informal poll, 67% were undecided about whether to cancel or continue with upcoming plans in Hong Kong. With the situation still evolving, there are no clear answers for how best to proceed. Best practices, however, can guide your decision-making process in a time of uncertainty, whether that be deciding how to proceed in Hong Kong or elsewhere.
