2021 MIDWEST REGIONAL CONSERVATION GUILD ANNUAL CONFERENCE

November 12-14, 2021

Indiana State Library in Indianapolis, Indiana

Safety is of our utmost concern in order to host an in-person meeting this year. With the rapid spread of the Delta variant and 99% of Covid hospitalizations happening to the unvaccinated, the MRCG board has decided to require Covid vaccination for in-person conference attendees, in addition to masks. You must be fully vaccinated, meaning you will have gotten your final shot by November 1st. 

In order to limit registration problems at the conference, please email a photo of your vaccine card, in advance, to the MRCG Secretary at mrcg.secretary@gmail.com. If you require technical assistance sending an image of a vaccination card, or prefer to show it in person at the conference, please reach out to us before November 1st so arrangements can be made in advance.  If you are not able to be vaccinated, please reach out to the MRCG Secretary. The virtual meeting registration is an option if you do not feel comfortable or cannot get the vaccine.  For the safety of all those attending in-person, MRCG board members will not be able to register people at the conference registration table that have not shown proof of vaccination.
