We are committed to the health and safety of our members and guests.
By attending one of the Chambers in-person events, you agree to follow the following protocols in place to keep our event attendees safe and healthy.
Assuming the Risk
You voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to Coronavirus (COVID-19) by attending a Chamber event. COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, based on the most current information available and clinical expertise, older adults and people of any age with underlying medical conditions might be at a higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19. All guests should consult their physician before attending a Chamber event.
Wearing a Face Covering
Face coverings are required at all in-person Chamber events. No exceptions. Face coverings must be worn appropriately (covering your mouth and nose) at all times unless seated and actively eating. The Chamber reserves the right to ask attendees that are not wearing a face covering to leave the event.
Accessing your Health Before the Event
The Chamber asks that you do not attend any in-person events if you believe you may have been exposed to COVID-19 or if you have a fever or are experiencing other symptoms of illness. Even if you have been exposed and tested negative, we still ask that you do not attend an in-person event until you have passed the ten days from assumed exposure, as false-negative tests are common. Attendees are subject to temperature checks before entering Chamber in-person events.
Keeping Your Distance
While attending a Chamber event, social distancing is required. You must keep a minimum of six feet between you and other attendees. We ask that you do not give handshakes, hugs, or other physical touches during the event.
