SCUCE: Public Health Policies and Protocols Updates

Ann Naiman3 min readMay 6, 2021

The Southeast Credit Union Conference and Expo (SCUCE) is only 42 days away! With all the excitement over a true, in-person event, the LSCU Team wants to make sure to share important information to ensure a safe event for everyone. With this goal in mind, we’ll be sharing the SCUCE Public Health Policies and Protocols as often as possible and whenever we are notified of changes.

LSCU and the management of Hilton Bonnet Creek have been taking proactive steps to ensure your health and safety while minimizing exposure to the COVID-19 virus during SCUCE for all participants. LSCU & Affiliates reserves the right to revise these policies and protocols at any time upon reasonable notice to meeting participants and to prohibit participation by any meeting participants that fail to comply with these policies and procedures.

As various local, state and federal leaders, as well as the CDC, continue to make updates to emergency protocols and COVID-19 recommendations, the LSCU Team is constantly watching the updates. As of now, below are some key safety protocols that will be adhered to during SCUCE. Please note, these protocols may change before SCUCE and we’ll continue to send updates as necessary. Also, while Florida may issue specific mandates related to COVID-19, the hotel and conference center, as a private business, reserves the right to enact its own procedures and rules, which LSCU and conference attendees will have to adhere to.

GENERAL 

Counters, laptops, printers, tables, chairs, handrails, doorknobs, bathroom sinks, toilets and other furniture/equipment/areas with high traffic will be wiped down with antiviral and antibacterial agents frequently throughout the day by the hotel throughout the meeting space.
In accordance with both Orange County, Fla. regulations and the policy of the Hilton Bonnet Creek, participants are always required to wear a mask indoors on hotel property (outside of individual sleeping rooms), except to eat and drink.
The event will be conducted under a “no hugs, no handshaking” and minimum physical distance policy throughout the meeting area, including common areas, exhibit hall, meeting rooms, and social/meal functions.
Signage to encourage pandemic-aware behavior will be posted throughout the meeting area.

 

PRIOR TO CONFERENCE

Please do not attend if you have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus within 14 days of the event or have been notified that you have been exposed to someone with the COVID-19 virus within 14 days of the event.
Provide emergency contact information to LSCU & Affiliates during your registration process.
Consider whether you may fall into one of the “higher risk” categories identified by public health officials before registering for the event.
Do not travel if you are ill or not feeling well.
LSCU will communicate with registered attendees via email to help you prepare to pack for the conference and will include any changes you’ll need to know about.
