COVID Safety Protocols

​As part of our commitment to holding a safe, productive, and successful in-person Academy, we are watching the COVID-19 situation closely. The Academy will be adhering to the CDC, federal, state, and local guidelines in place at the time of this event.
 
We are also reviewing guidelines put into place by other statewide, regional, and national conferences occurring this fall and winter for ideas on best practices for health and safety at in-person conferences. 

Based on those guidelines, Academy safety protocols implemented could include any of the following: social distancing, hand sanitizing stations provided throughout the conference location, required or recommended masking, recommended vaccination or required proof of vaccination, daily temperature checks, signed safety waivers, and any additional procedures or rules as needed based on current pandemic guidelines.
 
We may need to add additional safety measures to the ones mentioned above closer to the Academy dates. Please check this page regularly for new information.

The Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa, the 2022 Academy host hotel, is a Marriott property. View the Marriott's Commitment to Clean.
