COvid-19 Policy

​The health and safety of our community, staff, and event attendees is Leadership Maryland’s (LM) highest priority.
As we continue to monitor guidance related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other organizations, we are committed to taking appropriate precautions to provide a safe environment that does not place our staff or event attendees at undue risk. At this time, the CDC has not indicated in any way that organizations in the United States should consider postponing or canceling events.
​At this time, LM announces the following safety measures in effect for the 30th Anniversary Reunion October 28th-29th, 2022  – these measures may be updated based on changing conditions, and LM will notify all participants accordingly:
  • LM recommends that attendees wear masks indoors – regardless of vaccination status. At this time, local guidelines do not require the wearing of masks indoors, but LM joins all public health entities in recognizing that mask-wearing is effective in reducing exposure and risk.
  • LM further recommends that attendees review the most recent information from the CDC and other public health authorities in preparing for their participation.
  • All participants are asked to self-monitor for the symptoms of COVID-19 listed on the CDC website, including a fever of 100.4 or higher, flu-like symptoms, new loss of taste and/or smell, and we ask that participants exercise extreme caution by not participating in the conference or interacting with conference guests if experiencing any potential symptoms.
  • All participants are asked to take an at-home test prior to attending the event to help ensure the safety of your fellow attendees.
  • Social distancing in all areas of the venue is encouraged and recommended – room and space layouts will be optimized to facilitate distancing.
  • Diligent hand hygiene is strongly recommended – hand sanitizer stations will be placed throughout the venue, and LM suggests foregoing handshakes.
  • Visible safety signage and social distancing reminders will be posted throughout the building.
  • Refunds of conference registration fees will be granted in full if an attendee chooses to cancel their registration due to possible exposure prior to the event, potential symptoms prior to or at the event, or general discomfort with attending the conference due to changing COVID conditions.
​Given the evolving nature of COVID-19, Leadership Maryland will continue to closely monitor developments. In addition to safeguarding the health and safety of our event attendees and employees, we remain committed to providing clear and timely communications leading up to and at our events. Should we receive information from the CDC or local authorities that would prompt us to make adjustments to our event schedule, we will immediately notify all affected parties via email and post regular updates on our website.
