Health & Safety
We look forward to seeing everyone in person for the 2022 Women in Auto Care Leadership Conference!
Our primary focus is providing a safe and healthy environment for all Conference attendees. Auto Care is working with the
Marriott Indianapolis Downtown and Visit Indy to take precautions for the safety of all in attendance at the Conference.
With the last of the states recently announcing the lift of the indoor mask mandates (Washington and Oregon expired on March 11 and Hawaii expiring March 25), the Auto Care staff and Women in Auto Care Volunteer Leaders have made the decision to lift
all health and safety requirements previously instated.
No Longer Required:
- Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination or negative PCR test required for admittance
- Attendees to wear masks in all Women in Auto Care event spaces
In order to provide both a comfortable and considerate atmosphere, please note that:
- Masks are optional
- If attendees are experiencing any COVID like symptoms, please do not attend
We are all extremely excited and grateful for the ability to ReConnect and ReVitalize with the Women in Auto Care Community and we wish everyone safe travels to Indianapolis.
