We are monitoring the latest COVID-19 developments and working to ensure that our in-person trainings and convenings are as safe and accessible as possible. We are following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines and will adjust our COVID-19 protocol as needed.
Requirements
As of October 2024, our requirements for attending in-person trainings are as follows:
ALL in-person attendees MUST:
- Present a negative COVID-19 test result taken the day of and prior to arriving at the training.
- Agree to daily testing, and present a negative COVID-19 test each day before attending the training. Tests will be provided to participants.
- Sign and return re:power’s liability waiver
We will collect documentation before the training using an online portal.
DO NOT attend if any of the following is true for you or anyone you have been exposed to:
- Within 14 days before the training, you have tested positive or have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
- Within 14 days before the training, you have traveled to any international territory identified by federal or applicable state or local governments as being subject to travel or quarantine advisories due to COVID-19.
- Within 48 hours before the training, you have experienced symptoms of COVID-19 (e.g. a fever of 100.4 °F or higher, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chills, repeated shaking muscle pain/achiness, headache, sore throat, loss of taste or smell, nasal congestion, runny nose, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue or any other symptoms associated with COVID-19 identified by the CDC).
Testing and reporting results:
- Positive test results must be reported immediately to the re:power event lead, and the participant must follow isolation protocols as per health guidelines.
- For trainings that last longer than one day, attendees who test positive will not be allowed to return to the training. We will offer reasonable support around lodging and travel logistics.
- On-site Testing: If you begin to feel sick during the training, additional testing will be available. If the result is positive, you will not be readmitted to the training and we will need to disclose the result to the group.
- For attendees who test positive before the training begins, any training fees paid in advance can be applied toward a future re:power training, or request a refund. Unfortunately we cannot offer credit towards a future training or refunds for attendees who test positive during a training.
- All test results will be kept confidential and only shared with relevant personnel on a need-to-know basis. re:power will comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations.
Other Recommendations:
Masks: To limit COVID-19 exposure, we ask that participants wear masks while traveling to the workshop and whenever they are in indoor settings outside the workshop space (i.e. restaurants, stores, etc). Within the workshop space, mask-wearing is not required but is strongly encouraged. Trainers will wear masks when not actively facilitating and will unmask when speaking to the full group. Microphones for amplification may be offered, based on availability at the venue.
COVID-19 vaccination: We strongly recommend that all attendees are fully vaccinated and boosted to help protect themselves and others from the spread of COVID-19. Please refer to the CDC for their latest vaccination guidance and resources.
