NACHC COVID-19 Protocols for In-Person Events
All attendees will be asked to participate in and abide by all safety protocols implemented onsite for NACHC events. We will continue to closely monitor all conditions related to COVID-19 between now and the start of the event and NACHC reserves the right to assure compliance with the state’s regulations. We will inform you of any such changes so you can properly plan for your attendance. By registering for and attending a NACHC event all participants agree to the following:

Personal Accountability Commitment
I will not attend the NACHC Policy & Issues Forum if I have been recently exposed to COVID-19 or if I am feeling ill.

Statement of Personal Accountability for Registered Attendees, Exhibitors, Speakers and Guests
The NACHC Policy & Issues Forum brings together many people from multiple households in a public space. Any public space where other people are present holds an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 as well as other communicable diseases. By attending the NACHC’s Policy & Issues Forum I am voluntarily assuming all risk related to exposure to COVID-19 or any other communicable disease and I will not hold NACHC or any of its affiliates including its directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and volunteers liable for any illness I might contract during or after the event. While attending the NACHC Policy & Issues Forum I will take necessary precautions including, but limited to, adhering to the Well-Being Protocols, posted signs, placards and verbal requests, engaging in physical distancing as appropriate, wearing a mask, if required or if I desire, and engaging in hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette. I will not attend any NACHC event if I feel ill or had recent exposure to a COVID-19 case.

Venue Commitment
