The complete schedule: https://aesthetics-online.org/resource/resmgr/conferences/ASARMD_2021_Program.pdf We are working with the Drury Plaza Hotel to ensure that we meet the requirements of the New Mexico government and ask that everyone work with us
in complying. FAQs from the state of New Mexico: https://www.newmexico.org/industry/rapid-response-covid-19/covid-19-impact-faq/
Most notably:
Are visitors to New Mexico required to self-quarantine?
No, New Mexico does not require visitors to self-quarantine.
Are masks required in New Mexico?
Per the CDC, in most circumstances, fully vaccinated individuals are no longer required to wear a mask in either indoor or outdoor settings. All individuals who are unvaccinated or not yet fully vaccinated are still required, per the public health order and CDC guidance, to wear a mask in public settings. Individuals are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after their second dose in a two-dose series, such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or two weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Individuals who do not meet those requirements must continue to wear a mask in public settings.

mission statement of his firm is: “To design communities, buildings and ‘places’ of timeless beauty and value, that are appropriate to their context, respect the environment, and provide a superior quality of life for their inhabitants.” He has been
responsible for the design of a wide range of projects, including international hotel and resort developments, large-scale community planning projects, commercial buildings, mixed-use buildings, custom homes, and multi-family housing. He has also
been an advocate for excellence in architecture, both through his work and as a public speaker, conference presenter, and assistant professor of architecture at the University of Calgary, as well as through the publication of Best Home Magazine, which
he started to increase public awareness of the value of architects, and architecture in residential design.
