Prior to registering for in-person training, please review our current COVID policy:
AGTI is attempting to conduct this year's training in person with an option of Zoom for anyone preferring that option due to distance or Covid concerns. At the discretion of AGTI, the program could eventually return to being conducted entirely via Zoom for health and safety reasons. To maximize safety in the meeting space, we are requiring the following:
Everyone attending the AGTI process IN PERSON is required to be fully vaccinated for Covid and up to date "boosted" in order to participate. A vaccination card and verification of one or more boosters must be submitted via email to agtiaagt@gmail.com, prior to attendance. If you have not had a booster within 4 months prior to our first training on 9/24, you are required to be boosted within 2 weeks of that date (9/10/22) and provide proof of booster in order to attend. Throughout the training year, participants will be required to receive boosters suggested by the CDC and provide proof of the same.
KN95 OR N95 MASKS ARE NOW REQUIRED FOR ATTENDANCE.
We trust that anyone with Covid symptoms or who tests positive for Covid will not attend but join the group through Zoom, if able, until testing negative and isolation time as indicated by CDC guidelines is met.
We are looking forward to our year together.
Our Best to each of you, Nicholas and Ernest and AGTI
