Our organization strives to professionally accept challenges and genuinely follows safety guidelines and protocols in order to best serve our businesses, provide opportunities and safely carry out our chamber’s mission. Our team researches other local organization activity, both inside and outside of McLennan County, before executing plans in order to justify hosting events. Our team realizes community concerns may arise, and the chamber’s promise of enforcement to both our membership and community regarding events is:
– To follow CDC guidelines
– Conduct proper screening at check-in stations
– Provide several sanitation stations throughout venues
– Masks required and monitored at all times, including when seated (while not consuming food)
– Indoor Texas guidelines to be followed according to the event timeline and accommodating a limited seating capacity
– Avoid handshakes
– Proper markings for social distancing throughout
– Safe and socially distanced seating
– Safe and Approved Food Service
Regarding tickets: Your online reservation confirms your seat (no tickets will be mailed for the banquet). Attendee names are on the reservation list alphabetically by business and number of seats. A seating chart and ushers will be available to guide you to your seat.
