COVID-19 PLAN FOR AAA SHOWS AND EVENTS

PURPOSE: Provide a summary of the proposed changes to AAA shows and events as a response to COVID 19.

ISSUE: The feedback from AAA members has been quite clear; they miss the opportunity to interact with their alpaca friends and family via shows. This social element of our industry has had to take a backseat, as the community have responded to COVID. In addition to being a social event, there is a high level of importance placed on shows by our membership. AAA shows play an integral part of members' breeding programs and marketing. These events and shows can only proceed if undertaken in a safe manner. It is the priority of the AAA to ensure that all people attending our events are protected. 

PROPOSED OUTCOME: The AAA have developed COVID plans both for shows and for all other events, to  ensure everyone is educated on the potential risks of certain behaviours and understand the COVID-19 risk management systems and processes that the AAA has put in place and the reasons for these.

By utilising the COVID Plan, in addition to any Local or State Government regulations, the AAA Board encourages all AAA events to proceed for the long term benefit of our alpaca industry.
