Leadership Washington County COVID-19 Policy for Events*

We will continue to monitor and adhere to all federal, state and local guidelines around COVID-related policies.

When we gather for in-person events/programs, Leadership Washington County will continue to encourage social distancing, supporting elbow bumps over handshakes.

When Washington County exceeds the 5% positive test rate (“substantial transmission” and/or “high risk” categories), as we currently are, masks will be required for those fully vaccinated.

For the safety of those yet to be vaccinated, we ask those individuals to continue wearing masks while attending LWC events. Some event venues will require the usage of masks while on their premises, regardless of vaccination status. We will follow the policies of each venue/business and will notify all event attendees/participants accordingly.

*This policy is subject to change as guidelines are updated. Should you have additional questions, please feel free to contact us directly.
