In recognition of the continuing issues with Covid, these are the protocols we will follow. To begin, we will align with any facility, or governmental mandates and recommendations. Currently, there are no mandates in place, but everyone is encouraged to follow their inner guidance concerning their vulnerability. The Great Lakes Conference teams will provide masks if asked, and hand sanitizer and the facility is large enough for appropriate social distancing as requested. For those who are vulnerable or who choose to not attend we have an online option to attend the keynotes and business meetings including the town hall meeting with the Unity organizations.
