COVID-19 Response and Resources
During the effort to contain COVID-19, NAIOCB is prioritizing the health and well being of our community members and staff. In March 2020, our staff transitioned to working remotely. Beginning July 2020, we launched appointment-only in person services.
Although NAICOB programming and services had be moved to online and appointment-only, we are still here to serve community.
