GALA: Covid Precautions for 2022 Conference

August, 2022

The Conference Committee and the Board are most definitely looking forward to what we feel will be an outstanding event for all. But we are also cognizant of the fact that Covid is still very much on the scene, especially the Delta Variants. We will continue to track the situation, especially in the Richmond area. We want to assure all members and attendees that we will, at a minimum, be instituting the following precautions for everyone’s safety.

1. Rather than set a requirement for masks, we will simply ask that all attendees be very cognizant of thorough hand washing and use of antibacterial hand lotion (which will be available throughout the venue). You may, of course, wear a mask should you feel safer and more comfortable doing so. (There will be masks and hand sanitizer in the swag bags that each attendee receives)

2. Will socially distance as much as possible in classrooms and the Fiber Rooms.

3. We will, if necessary, have smaller tables used in the dining room to allow for sufficient distance between each one.

4. Are strongly recommending that all attendees are fully vaccinated.

5. Will have hand sanitizing stations in the classrooms, throughout the venue, dining room, Auction tables and at the registration table.

In addition, the DoubleTree by Hilton has partnered with Lysol, instituting an “Event Ready, Stay

Clean” program and will be practicing deep cleaning of all areas of the hotel, public areas and rooms.

For those visitors concerned about cleanliness etc., you may request not to have daily housekeeping service and receive only fresh towels, etc.

We will be sending necessary updates through the GALA e-blasts, so please watch your inbox.

Thanks so much for your support, understanding, desire to attend and we’ll hope that this third try at our annual conference is a homerun!
