Safety Protocols

Here at the Abilene Chamber, we’re committed to creating and providing an environment where you feel comfortable. We know you’re eager to get out and market your business so with guidance from local leadership, our team will walk you through five principles we’ve adopted for upcoming events. It is our hope that with these principles, our partners will be able to resume networking while creating a safe space for yourself and those around you. Click here for our video.

• We’re limiting the entrance of events to just one area so proper temperature checks and hand sanitation can take place before anyone enters the building.
• To protect your health and the health of others, masks will be required and will be on-hand for those who do not have one. We know that not all will feel comfortable in a mask, but in order to get back to some sort of “normalcy” it’s a step we feel that we need to take to help ensure you remain healthy.
• Unsure if the person you’re wanting to visit with is physically distancing? We’ll have colored bracelets on-hand to help you communicate to those around you and which measures you are practicing. A red will mean no contact, yellow elbows only while still being cautious, blue hi-five and handshakes with frequent sanitizing.
• We’re boosting up our signage throughout events to help remind everyone in attendance of proper public health guidelines.

Protecting the health and safety of everyone at our events is a shared responsibility and we know you as our valued partner stand ready to do your part. Let’s take more steps toward economic recovery, together.

On the day of the event, if you have any of these symptoms, please stay home and call your physician.

(fever, dry cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, loss of taste or smell or diarrhea)
