AFT COVID-19 SAFETY PROTOCOLS
AFT aims to provide a safe work/meeting environment free of known hazards. To this end, the AFT has established extensive protocols in this age of COVID for a safe in-person meeting environment, including vaccination, testing for our meeting spaces, masking, and distancing. We believe our collective responsibility to each other’s well-being, safety, and health is best served by ensuring that everyone who attends AFT meetings is fully vaccinated against COVID-19. All registered participants must provide proof of a negative COVID test during on-site check-in at Lake Lawn.
You will be notified in advance of any changes in COVID-19 protocols.
Enrollment is limited for each course and registration applications will be processed in the order they are received.
Participants will receive a registration confirmation, a detailed agenda, and other conference information via the e-mail address provided on the enrollment form.
The registration deadline is Friday, May 10. No refunds will be issued for cancellations received after June 17.
