| COVID-19 update: Policy Seminar 2022 is back in Washington, DC for fully vaccinated attendees and online! Beginning Tuesday, February 15, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser's Order 2021-148 will require individuals age 12 and older to show proof of full vaccination to enter "indoor event and meeting establishments," including "conferences" as well as DC bars and restaurants. For more information about the order, including guidelines for those unable to be vaccinated, click here. COE is providing this information now for planning purposes and will share additional details on the vaccination verification process that will occur on-site at the conference host hotel once more information becomes available. Please note that while COE will not charge a fee to switch between virtual or in-person attendance for Policy Seminar 2022, to manage congressional meeting logistics, we request that applicants switch format between in-person or virtual attendance no later than Monday, March 7. |
