MADD is excited to resume our in-person Victim Impact Panel (VIP) program.

*We have increase our safety protocols to match state and local guidelines. Please read carefully.

Due to limited space, pre-registration is required.

6 foot physical distancing procedures will be observed. This may cause the check in and check out time of the panel to experience a higher wait time. MADD staff and volunteers have put processes in place to expedite this procedure as best as possible while ensuring the observation of appropriate and necessary safety procedures.

Panel attendees will be required to wear a facial covering that covers the mouth and nose at all times. MADD is operating the Victim Impact Panels to meet the needs of the community and we are requiring the use of facial coverings out of an abundance of caution to protect the attendees, as well as MADD staff and volunteers. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control recommends the use of facial coverings in public settings where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. In addition, the CDC advises that facial coverings can help slow the spread of the virus, including among those who are not exhibiting symptoms. However, the use of a face covering should not be seen as a substitute for social distancing. Please continue to observe rules regarding appropriate distancing while at our Panels.

Panel attendees will be required to participate in a Health Screening process that includes having their body temperature checked prior to entering the VIP Event. MADD is operating the Victim Impact Panels to meet the needs of the community. We are instituting a health screening process including body temperature screenings out of an abundance of caution to protect all attendees, as well as MADD staff and volunteers. The CDC has recommended the use of body temperature screenings as it relates to procedures to help limit potential exposure to the virus. We ask for your cooperation as we administer these preventive measures, to help ensure the process goes as quickly as possible.
