Covid-19message to members

Dear National Swine Registry Membership and Stakeholders,

In response to Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb's "shelter in place" executive order and directive, the National Swine Registry will be operating with limited staff and providing only critical in-office services. Our priority is the safety of our staff and being responsible neighbors, while also maintaining essential business functions. This new format will be followed beginning Tuesday, March 24, 2020 until Tuesday, April 7, 2020. Below is a list of our recommendations during this time period:

1. Staff will be working remotely. If you have an urgent need, please email first then try to call. Email will be the most effective way to track and record necessary work. We will be as responsive as possible during this time period.
2. Pedigree information and work should be completed either through online registration or emailed to the appropriate breed secretary. Work orders and requests should be done online as much as possible. Please visit nationalswine.com for more information. We will do our best to have timely turnarounds, but please plan accordingly and expect delays in receiving work.
3. If you have accounting needs, please utilize the online bill payment option or correspond via email when possible. While we do not anticipate disruptions in financial processes, please be patient as we work through this changing situation.
4. If you have DNA testing needs, please mail them to the office as soon as possible. We do anticipate delays with business disruptions from our labs, so the more proactive members can be the better.

Additionally, NSR staff are still working and planning for our summer events including The Exposition, National Junior Summer Spectacular and Summer Type Conference. Please stay up to date on any changes or updates via our website, social media platforms, or e-blast. In the event something changes with these events, we will inform you as soon as possible and establish entry return policies.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these unprecedented times. Our goal is to still provide the best customer service possible to our members while also protecting the health and safety of our staff and their families.

Should you have questions please do not hesitate to reach me directly either via email or by cell.

Regards,
Clay Zwilling
Chief Executive Officer
National Swine Registry
