** ASNW UPDATED COVID Messaging – March 11, 2022
————————————————————

In the interest of transparent and proactive communication, we wanted to reach out and relay our UPDATED organizational response to the upcoming state level mask mandate changes.

ASNW is aware that the indoor mask mandate will be lifted March 11, 2022 in the state of Oregon. Our COVID Safety Committee met again to review the feedback we received from our ASNW community and our facility partners mask policies. Please note the outcomes of this most recent meeting:
* ASNW will no longer hold a mask mandate for our athletes and families effective March 12, 2022
* ASNW will require the ongoing use of masks for our coaches, volunteers, and staff beyond the March 11 state withdraw of the mask mandate
* ASNW supports and encourages those who want to continue to wear a mask to do so. Being vaccinated and wearing a mask continues to be the most effective way to protect yourself and others from contracting COVID
* We hope that participants will make decisions that reflect both personal desire and comfort, but as well, the safety of those friends and teammates around them
* The COVID Safety Committee will continue to meet on a regular basis to discuss real-time changes related to COVID-19
* Regardless of any changes ASNW makes, now or in the future, we will ALWAYS honor the policies of our facility partners, any policies of hosting facilities and organizations, as well as federal travel guidelines, that may still require the use of masks

If you have any additional feedback or questions at this time, you can always reach out to us, or email me directly at dave@adaptivesportsnw.org. I will do my best to answer your question, and will forward feedback and inquiries to the rest of the COVID Safety Committee.
