LHPW COVID Vaccination Policy


Leather History Preservation Foundation (LHPF) intends to continue to provide a safe environment for those attending our in-person events and will review and update our protocols when necessary and reserve the right to make changes as appropriate. After reviewing local, state, and federal information and guidelines, we have updated our COVID-19 policy for LHPW 2024.

All registrants, guests, and staff for the Leather History Preservation Weekend held November 8-10, in Atlanta GA, should follow these guidelines:
• Currently, masks are not required, but attendees who feel that wearing a mask would benefit their risk levels should wear them at their discretion.
• Attendees should follow sanitary guidelines like washing and/or sanitizing their hands frequently.
• Attendees should cancel and stay home if feeling ill.
• We will have hand sanitizer and masks available for attendees during the event.
• We will comply with all state and local health or mask mandates in place at the time of the event.
There will be NO REFUNDS of registration fees if the registrant is refused admission to the event because of obvious illness.

Weekend Crew Opportunities


Leather History Preservation Weekend could not happen without a great deal of work! Our dedicated Board and staff need a lot of crew members to help make everything happen. From load-in to load-out, we need event security, room monitors, ASL interpreters, hospitality helpers and more! Everyone chips in to make this event happen, but we do offer crew a discount on event registration. If you would like to learn more about these opportunities for our 2024 event, contact our primary Crew Coordinator, Relly Prospect – director.relly@lhpfoundation.org or MsTori – exec.director@lhpfoundation.org
