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. 

COVID-19 Vaccines and Face Covering Requirements for CWBA Holiday Party on December 2, 2021

Updated: November 18, 2021

To protect our community from illness and to slow transmission of COVID-19, the Colorado Women’s Bar Association (CWBA) will require that all guests who attend our December 2, 2021, Holiday Party be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with an FDA or WHO-approved vaccine. “Fully vaccinated” means two weeks after a person’s second dose in a two-dose series and two weeks after a single-dose vaccine. Proof of vaccination must be shown at the registration check-in area prior to entry.

If you have already registered for the event and can no longer attend, please contact us immediately for a refund prior to Wednesday, Nov. 24, 2021. Cancellations or no-shows after November 24, will not be refunded.

Acceptable proof of vaccination includes one of the following and a matching government-issued photo I.D.:

• A physical copy of COVID-19 Vaccination Card.
• A high-resolution photo of the front and back of your COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card on smart phone or mobile app

Mask Policy

Mask wearing is strongly encouraged for all Holiday Party attendees, unless attendees can maintain a distance of six feet from each other, in which case masks may be removed. Masks may also be removed, briefly, by an attendee if they are speaking as part of our presentation, or if eating or drinking.

If you have had any recent exposure to someone diagnosed with COVID-19 or are exhibiting any signs of sickness or COVID-19 related symptoms yourself, please stay home.

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. 

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 unless attendees can maintain a distance of six feet from each other, in which case masks may be removed. Masks may also be removed, briefly, by an attendee when they are speaking, eating, or drinking.

Specific Requirements

• For all in-person meetings and events, a Release Form 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

• 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.
