Conference of the County Investment Academy

In-Person Event Safety Guidelines

The Texas Association of Counties is committed to providing a clean and safe experience at meetings and events, and prioritizes the safety and social well-being of all attendees, guests and staff members. We continue to monitor guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Texas Department of State Health Services, local health authorities, and state and local governments for regulations and guidelines. Physical distancing and safety measures have been put into place for currently planned conferences and events.

From the registration desk to meeting rooms, exhibit halls and meals, the Education and Events Services team has developed detailed plans, processes and procedures to help you feel safe.

Due to possible capacity limitations, some conferences may have to limit the number of attendees to accommodate physical distancing guidelines. For more information, please contact Deanna Auert or visit the facility's website for specific safety guidelines pertaining to venues.

How Event Staff Are Keeping You Safe

Event staff will wear protective face coverings and gloves in all public areas of the meeting venue.

Event staff will practice physical distancing with Plexiglas shields and/or face shields at registration desk; place floor markers at registration area, meeting rooms, exhibit halls and food and beverage stations.

Event staff will clean and sanitize frequently touched surfaces and provide hand sanitizer for all attendees.

Event staff will conduct a daily symptom assessment of themselves.
