The Safer Dating Advisory Board, along with The Meet Group’s SVP Marketing, Catherine Connelly, will discuss the importance of the COVID-19 vaccine, dating in person, and best practices to reduce the risk of transmission. Award-winning matchmaker and host of the Ask a Matchmaker Podcast, Maria Avgitidis, will be the special guest moderator for the event.
The Meet Group’s Safer Dating Advisory Board, formed in July 2020, is comprised of top epidemiologists and health experts, including Dr. Anirrudha Hazra, an internal medicine and infectious diseases physician certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine, Dr. Tali Elfassy, an epidemiologist and Research Assistant Professor of Epidemiology in the Department of Medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and Dr. Melissa Sharp, an epidemiologist and postdoctoral fellow at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.
The Safer Dating Advisory Board provides consultation on dating products, including the launch of the in-app COVID Dating Preference feature, safer dating guidance, including dating tips offered to members of The Meet Group’s dating apps, and has helped shape the company’s response to the pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus. As a leader in dating safety, The Meet Group continues to strive to set the industry standard, leveraging the most innovative technologies to make its dating applications a place where millions can safely connect, meet, and date.
