Notice to attendees

Following our pledge to keep attendees of the North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference apprised of any information relevant to COVID-19, we were alerted March 19 that a guest of a conference attendee recently tested positive for COVID-19. This guest roomed at the Hilton Omaha between the dates of March 10 and March 13. The Wildlife Management Institute has been advised that the only Conference-related event attended by the individual in question was the Welcome Reception on March 10.

We encourage everyone to follow CDC guidance on how to monitor your health and identify COVID-19 symptoms. Additionally, please review the CDC’s recommendations on how to protect yourself from contracting COVID-19.

If we learn of any additional information related to potential COVID-19 exposure to conference attendees, we will forward it as soon as possible.
