However\, if you are overdue for your booster\, you are no longer up to date. \nUSET is committed to the overall safety and well-being of all of its meeting attendees. Recognizing the ongoing evolving realities of the COVID-19 pandemic\, any in-person meeting/event plans will be executed in accordance with recommended public health protocols. As a reminder\, the USET Tribal Epidemiology Center (TEC)\, a recognized public health authority\, will ultimately provide USET with guidance and recommendations about any in-person USET meeting/event plans to ensure that our actions are in the best interests of the USET/USET SPF organization\, its membership\, and meeting attendees. Based on the USET TEC’s decision\, it may be required to shift the event from in-person/hybrid to fully virtual and should this action be taken\, proper notice will be provided. \n\nFor questions\, please contact Veronica Menta\, USET OERM Financial Analyst\, at vmenta@usetinc.org. \nThis meeting is sponsored by Baker Tilly and Qware. \n
