In-Person Event Policies: NAEP 2023

Health & Safety Policies:

Assumption of Risk: The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is reported to be extremely contagious. The state of medical knowledge continues to evolve, but the virus is believed to spread through airborne particles, person-to-person contact, and contact with contaminated surfaces and objects. People can be infected and show no symptoms and therefore spread the disease. To date, there is no known treatment or cure for COVID-19. Evidence has shown that COVID-19 can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illness and even death.

By registering for this event you understand that NAEP cannot prevent me from becoming exposed to, contracting, or spreading COVID-19 while attending this course. I understand that by choosing to attend this course, I may be exposing myself to and/or increasing my risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19.

COVID Safety Guidelines:

NAEP will be following all current CDC guidelines for large gatherings. All attendees and guests will be subject to all venue rules and regulations in place at the time of the conference. By registering for any NAEP in-person events, you are agreeing to abide by all safety protocols set forth by the meeting organizers. If you are found to be in violation of the guidelines and NAEP feels your behavior is putting other attendees at risk, you may be asked to leave. If you are asked to leave, NAEP reserves the right to determine your eligibility for a refund. We appreciate your compliance with this policy to ensure the safety of all NAEP guests at in-person events.

Additionally, you will be asked to attest to your health status onsite, prior to participating in the event. If you are not willing to complete this health questionnaire or your responses indicate that you may be at risk of spreading the virus, NAEP reserves the right to determine your eligibility for a refund.

Safety policies and procedures are subject to change dependent upon venue and state regulations. Any additional changes will be listed on this page.

COVID Contact Tracing:

If you test positive for any strain of the COVID-19 virus within 14 days around or of attending a NAEP-hosted event, please call or email the NAEP Office at 206-209-5286 or [email protected]. NAEP will keep attendees informed if a potential exposure has been had at a NAEP-hosted event. We encourage you to download a COVID-19 exposure tracing app to help you gain the fastest information on potential exposures.
