A safe and comfortable experience at ACA International’s (“ACA”) 2023 Committee of 100 (“Event”) is a top priority for ACA as we plan for your arrival at the Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel (“Hotel”) in Dana Point, CA. We have prepared these COVID-19 Safety Protocols with the health, safety and enjoyment of attendees in mind.
These safety protocols are based on local, state and federal recommendations and mandates. However, given the evolving nature of the pandemic and changing local, state and national guidelines and requirements, safety protocols will naturally be fluid. ACA reserves the right to modify or update these safety protocols at any time so that they are appropriately tailored to the state of the COVID-19 pandemic, its attendant health and safety risks, and national, state, and local requirements and guidelines, during the dates of the event.
Please check back periodically so you are aware of the safety protocols you will be expected to follow while attending the event.
By attending the Event, you and anyone travelling with you agree to follow the safety protocols set in place by ACA, Hotel, City of Dana Point and State of California, and the CDC, including those stated here and onsite at the event. ACA and Hotel reserve the right to ask any attendee or guest to leave the event and hotel premises at any time in the event of a suspected COVID-19 infection, exposure or symptoms.
