The California Health Information Association’s (CHIA) top priority for all in-person events is the safety and welfare of all participants. The CHIA Board has provided specific recommendations to inform and direct participants who attend CHIA’s in-person events regarding what specific considerations are being undertaken to ensure attendee safety. CHIA’s event policy is based on facility, county, state and/or federal guidelines.

CHIA will follow the strictest guidelines (such as masking) established by the facility hosting the event, the county department of public health in which the event is located, and the state. Participants will be required to agree to an “Acknowledgement, Personal Responsibility and Assumption of Risk” statement when registering for any CHIA and/or Component Local Association (CLA) in-person event.

Acknowledgement, Personal Responsibility and Assumption of Risk statement

By attending a California Health Information Association (CHIA) or Component Local Association (CLA) in-person event (the Event), you voluntarily assume all risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury related to exposure to COVID-19, and release CHIA/CLA from liability for any injury or harm that may result by attending the Event. The CHIA/CLA’s goal is to ensure a safe meeting environment. CHIA will also follow the strictest guidance (such as masking) established by the facility hosting the event, the county department of public health in which the event is located and the state. As such, you also agree to abide by any prevention or safety measures that CHIA/CLA, the venue, the county health department, or the State of California may have in place during the Event. You also agree not to attend the Event if you become ill, are aware that you’ve been directly exposed to the COVID-19 virus within seven (7) days prior to the Event or exhibit any symptoms of the COVID-19 virus prior to or during the Event.

We expect to review this policy in the future and may make changes as circumstances dictate or allow.
