COVID-19 Safety Acknowledgment —
Liability Waiver and Release of Claims

COVID-19 SAFETY INFORMATION:

While participating in events held or sponsored by the American Marketing
Association, (“AMA”), consistent with CDC and WHO guidelines, participants are encouraged to practice hand hygiene, “social distancing”, and wear face coverings to reduce the risks of exposure to COVID-19. Because COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is spread mainly from person-to-person contact, AMA has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. However, AMA cannot guarantee that its participants, volunteers, partners, or others in attendance will not become infected with COVID-19.

In light of the ongoing spread of COVID-19, individuals who fall within any of the categories below should not engage in AMA events and/or other face to face activities. By attending an AMA event, you certify that you do not fall into any of the following categories:

Individuals who currently or within the past fourteen (14) days have experienced any symptoms associated with COVID-19, which include fever, cough, and shortness of breath among others;

Individuals who believe that they may have been exposed to a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19 or have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and are not yet cleared as non-contagious by state or local public health authorities or the health care team responsible for their treatment.


DUTY TO SELF-MONITOR:

Participants and volunteers agree to self-monitor for signs and symptoms of COVID-19 (symptoms typically include fever, cough, and shortness of breath) and, contact AMA at customersupport@ama.org or 1-800-AMA-1150 if they experience symptoms of COVID-19 within 14 days after participating or volunteering with AMA.
