IN-PERSON EVENT PROTOCOLS:
The safety of our participants and team remain our utmost priority and we continue to rely on the following factors to influence hosting in-person meetings/events:

Currently, to maximize protection from the Delta variant and prevent possibly spreading it to others, the CDC recommends wearing a mask indoors in public if you are in an area of substantial or high transmission regardless of vaccination status. In alignment with national and local guidance, mask wearing at INARF events is recommended and disposable masks will be available as a convenience to meeting/event participants. Social distancing accommodations will also be offered when possible.

ARTISAN CANCELLATION POLICY:
Cancellations are permitted prior to September 1 with a full refund. Cancellations after September 1 will be refunded IF a replacement Artisan is secured by INARF.
