Dear BGC Friends,

In preparation for the September 8 reopening of our buildings on 86th Street, please read BGC’s complete reopening plan. We also remind you to submit the BGC Health Pledge if you haven’t already.

If you weren’t able to get tested for Covid at BGC, you are required to get a test at a facility/medical provider of your choice (at your expense) before you return to 86th Street.

Your co-editors,

Nadia Rivers & Maggie Walter
