Health & Safety Plan

2022 Leadership Conference Health & Safety Plan 

The 2022 NADP Leadership Conference is Jan. 24-26, 2022 at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport Marriott. The safety of our members, staff and event participants remains our first priority, so please review our Health & Safety Plan below.    
 
We will alert you with any updates to this Health & Safety plan, which is based on guidance and requirements of the hotel property, the city of Irving, Dallas County, Texas Health and Human Services, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  


We at NADP look forward to seeing you for a great meeting in Dallas, Texas!

      NADP has also ordered Pure Meeting and Wellness air purifiers for the most commonly used meeting space.

      Pure Meeting equipment provides state of the art air purification to remove 99.99% of viruses, bacteria, and other harmful particulate from a meeting space. The same equipment used in hospitals, the air purifiers can protect against airborne transmission of COVID-19 and improve air quality.

      You can find information about Marriott’s "Commitment to Clean” here.

These measures help to protect you and everyone around you, including other event participants, venue staff and other guests.
