COVID-19 HEALTH AND SAFETY WAIVER

AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK 

NFHA’s 2023 Conference COVID-19 Health and Safety guidelines are: (1) proof of COVID-19 vaccination/booster within the last year (after August 2022); (2) agreement to COVID-19 liability waiver during registration, and (3) COVID self-test prior to travel to the event. The wearing of masks during the conference is encouraged. 
NFHA is not granting any waivers to the COVID vaccination requirement as those attending the conference are relying on the fact that all those in attendance have been vaccinated. 
If you have questions, please email nfhaevents@nationalfairhousing.org.
