    Hi Amy,

    Great question.

    I would add similar inquiry for the food service contractor, or self-operated cafe/catering manager employed by the Museum and caterers that work in the Museum building(s). Most all of these workers are also interacting/interfacing with Museum visitors, volunteers, guests, staff, donors and other contractors.

    Food for thought! :-)

    Thanks,
    Art

    We are requiring vaccination of all staff, volunteers, and contractors. Our guards are in-house, but our food service vendor is not, additionally, construction crews, etc. Everyone will be required to be vaccinated and to show proof of vaccination either prior to arriving on site, or on arrival. For anyone who is unable to be vaccinated for medical or religious reasons, they will have to do I believe weekly testing. We are on the verge of enacting all of this at the moment we are still getting verification from staff and volunteers of vaccination status.
