right to transition in-person events to virtual as needed.
• Health and safety protocols will be posted at the entrance of each in-person delegates meeting and
may fluctuate based on the level of community spread of COVID-19.
• We ask all members to respect their fellow delegates by following the posted rules regarding masking
and social distancing when it is required.
• Anyone experiencing illness should not attend an in-person meeting.
Important reminders regarding virtual meetings:
