The health and safety of our staff and event attendees is our highest priority. As we continue to monitor guidance related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the State of California, we are committed to taking appropriate precautions to provide a safe environment that does not place our staff or event attendees at undue risk nor cause a potential super-spreader event that could affect the communities we serve. As such, we will require all event attendees to follow the below guidelines while attending our Fall conference:

• The Executive Board has decided to continue with our current vaccination policy: attendees must be fully vaccinated meaning 2 doses of Pfizer or Moderna OR 1 dose of J&J (no booster shots are required). Attendees must provide their Covid-19 vaccination record to attend the conference as we are not accepting negative Covid-19 tests as an alternative. If you are unwilling to provide the required documentation you will not be allowed into the conference. Vaccination records need to be added as part of the event registration process.
• We are currently not requiring that masks be worn during the conference. However, the Association will uphold any local, state, and federal recommendations or mandates, that are in place during our conference dates. If there is a local, state, or federal mask mandate in effect during the conference dates, any attendee that does not wear a mask, or wears it incorrectly, may be asked to leave the conference. Refunds will not be granted to those that do not comply with this guidance.

The Association is proud to announce this year’s Fall 2022 Training Conference with our shared theme of Continuing the Legacy of Service. The conference is being held in Palm Springs at the Renaissance Palm Springs Hotel from September 12-15. We have tried to offer a wide selection of classes as well as a few new entertaining surprises that are sure to please. 

Online registration for the conference will open on Wednesday, June 8, 2022, and will be available for sale until August 28, 2022. Please note: this event will be completely in-person. 

Any registrants on the day of the event will notice a significant increase in fees as noted below. Pricing tiers for this year are as follows.
