The Northeast Board of Directors are currently monitoring the COVID-19 situation closely and following the North Dakota Restart Guidelines. Although North Dakota is in the low risk level, the North Dakota EMS Association will do everything in our power to keep the attendees safe, unfortunately there is always a risk. We limited the size of the conference to 75 attendees, there will be distance in the seating, mask requirements, and sanitation areas throughout the conference. There will be more announcements made before the conference with other suggestions that may help with social distancing. There will be no walk ins.
Please do not hesitate to contact the office with any questions or concerns. Your safety is important. As much as we would like you to join us, if you have any reservations, experiencing any symptoms or have been in contact with someone exposed, please do not attend. You will get fully refunded.
