COVID-19 HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS   

Please review the following COVID-19 Health and Safety Protocols for attending and participating at our in-person events. 

As conditions are constantly changing with COVID-19, we too are constantly assessing and monitoring health and safety concerns as we begin to schedule in-person meetings and events. This is the logical next step in the member and staff safety-first approach we have followed throughout the pandemic. While we have, periodically, scheduled very small board/staff and member in-person meetings and have followed safety practices at all times, as larger numbers gather, it is important to abide by established guidelines. Following are those guidelines, which should be considered minimum safety steps and are subject to change at any time depending upon federal, state, and local requirements and recommendations.

Health Authorities

Our primary guide to permitted in-person gatherings and protocols for hosts, attendees, and participants of those gatherings will come from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (“CDPHE”) and County and Local restrictions and orders, particularly those of the City and County of Denver. We will also closely consider guidance from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) in establishing in-person meeting protocols.

General Guideline - as of 9/13/2021

For all in-person events, all CDPHE, county, and local restrictions and public health orders must be strictly followed. Note that these restrictions and orders may incorporate CDC guidance which must also be strictly followed.

For your own safety, the safety of others, and in an effort to provide everyone with the most rewarding in-person meeting and event experiences possible, we request that you attend a CWBA meeting or event only if you have been fully vaccinated and are feeling well. All attendees must wear masks for indoor meetings and events.

Specific Requirements

• For all in-person meetings and events, a release in the form attached hereto as Release must be agreed to as part of the registration process or executed by each attendee at or prior to the time of the meeting or event.
• Mask and social distancing protocol during any meeting or event will be determined based upon current CDPHE, county, and local restrictions and public health orders and CDC guidance in place at the time of the meeting or event.

Consideration Regarding Meetings/Events at Other Venues/Facilities

• All meeting or event planners/chairs must confirm with the venue that all CDPHE, county, and local restrictions and public health orders and CDC guidance will be strictly followed and monitored by the venue.
