designed to prevent and minimize the spread of infectious diseases. To support safely and responsibly
convening at ACG’s educational programs, the College strongly encourages all in-person attendees
at its meetings to follow national and local public health recommendations. While the College has
convened meetings safely in the current environment, ACG cannot guarantee that an attendee will
not be exposed to infectious diseases. Anyone experiencing symptoms should refrain from in-person
attendance and instead participate in those programs available through virtual access. ACG will
continue to monitor the situation and make necessary and appropriate adjustments.
