Transformation Through Bold Engagement
COVID-19 PROTOCOLS
COVID is still here, so for the health of everyone, we are instituting the following protections during the in-person gathering:
Full COVID vaccination is required for in-person attendance.
A booster shot is required for those who are eligible.
We cannot admit people who are unvaccinated - even for age, medical or religious reasons - to the in-person gathering. All are welcome, including folks who have not been vaccinated, to attend the gathering virtually.
Masks must be worn in all public areas.
You must submit vaccination verification by one of the following:
Upload your vaccination certificate when you register.
Mail a copy of your certificate to:
Registrar, 939 Longfellow St NW Unit #203, Washington, DC 20011
Email your certificate to registrar@avpusa.org
Present your certificate when you arrive on-site.
AVP-USA COVID-19 Information
Care for others and ourselves are a central component to AVP's Transforming Powers. As we continue to transform boldly as local groups and a national grassroots organization through the pandemic, we are reimagining how we create community. We are excited that this year we are piloting virtual and in-person opportunities for the Annual National Gathering. The conference committee wanted to make the gathering accessible while also keeping the current CDC best practices in mind. In this video you will hear the precautions we are taking for the in-person gathering, the options on how to attend and how to upload proof of vaccination.
