Health and Safety Precautions
The Alliance is committed to following all health and safety precautions to maintain a healthy environment for all attendees. Please be aware that these precautions are the minimum requirement while noting that the Alliance continues to monitor the environment and may implement more stringent requirements as the conference approaches.
General Attendee and Guest Precautions
1. Attendees are strongly encouraged to be up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations per CDC guidelines as of September 6, 2024. This means having completed a COVID-19 vaccine primary series and received the most recent booster dose recommended by the CDC and as authorized or approved by the Food and Drug Administration, or for international guests, the World Health Organization.
2. Attendees will be required to attest during registration that they will test for COVID-19 if exhibiting any symptoms prior to the departure for the event, while attending the event, and/or following their return home after the event. Attendees should not participate in the event if, at any point, they test positive before or during the event.
3. CDC recommendations or requirements of the host city will be in effect at the time of the meeting will be enacted and enforced.
4. Masks are encouraged but not required. Anyone who wishes to wear a mask is welcome to do so and their decision should be respected.
These Health and Safety Precautions apply to ALL attendees, including all volunteers, speakers, sponsors, and guests. Attendees should check the event website for any changes to these precautions.
Code of Conduct
The Alliance strives to create a diverse, inclusive, accepting and safe space for everyone.
All voices are welcome to ensure diversity of thought we invite as speakers, attendees, and guests at our conferences and webinars. There is a zero-tolerance policy for any form of discrimination or abusive behavior.
1. Attestation. During the registration process, you will be asked to check a box agreeing to treat fellow participants respectfully, helping to ensure welcome conversation from all participants. By checking this box, participants also acknowledge that any form of discrimination, violence, or abusive behavior may result in removal from a session, webinar, or conference, depending on the situation.
2. Disruptive Conduct. You acknowledge and agree that the Alliance reserves the right to refuse or approve admittance of any individual (or) remove you from the Event if the ALLIANCE, in its sole discretion, determines that your participation or behavior create a disruption or hinder the Event or the enjoyment of the Event content by other attendees.
3. Recording, Live Streaming, and Videotaping. Participants may not record or broadcast audio or video of sessions at Alliance Events.
4. In addition to the requirements and prohibitions set forth in this Section 3, ALLIANCE may also exclude any prospective participant from registering for or participating in any Event, at ALLIANCE’s sole discretion.
5. Reporting an Incident or violations of this Policy: If you have a complaint or concern about harassment, discrimination, bullying or any other conduct which may violate the Alliance Code of Conduct, we encourage you to tell an Alliance event staff member, Alliance security personnel or conference facility security personnel immediately. You may also notify us via email at conference@naeh.org or by calling this number (202) 262-2615. You may request that your report remain confidential and only be shared with those on a “need to know” basis.
When taking an in-person report, our team will ensure you are in a safe location and cannot be overheard. The Alliance staff member may involve other team members to ensure your report is managed properly. Once safe, we’ll ask you to convey the specific circumstances. While this can potentially be upsetting, we’ll give you the patience and respect you deserve; and bring along someone to help support you if you desire. You will not be asked to confront any individual and all our communications will be confidential and only be shared with those on a “need to know” basis.
Notifying the Alliance staff or onsite Security does not constitute or replace notification to local law enforcement. This Code of Conduct does not replace rules posted by conference facility, official conference hotels or any rules that are part of the Alliance’s contracts with its vendors, exhibitors and/or sponsors.
