The DSAWM office has reopened to staff and visitors. We’ve missed you and are so excited to finally see everyone again! As we begin to welcome members and guests back to our office, health and safety will continue to be our priority. Here are the steps we are taking to ensure both at the DSAWM office:

1. Requesting all visitors wear a mask when in the office. DSAWM will have masks available for those who do not have their own. Staff will also wear masks when interacting with guests.

2. Limiting the number of in-person programming this summer. Virtual programming will continue through July in an effort to limit physical contact between members, staff, and volunteers. Some activities that can be held outdoors and in small groups will begin meeting this month. As the summer progresses, we will reevaluate and share our programming schedule with members. Please note that two large summer gatherings, the Member Picnic and Oh Baby, have been cancelled.

3. Staggering days in which staff members are in the office. DSAWM Program Director Nate and DSAWM Communications Director Victoria will be in the office on Mondays and Wednesdays. DSAWM Executive Director Jennifer and Step Up Coordinator and DSAWMF Fund Development Director Tom will be in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On the days in which a staff member is not in the office, they will be working remotely from home to continue to assist members virtually.

4. Daily cleaning of commonly-touched surfaces. Staff will clean commonly-touched surfaces like door handles, tabletops, phones, and laptops at the beginning and end of every day, as well as after use by a guest.

We appreciate your cooperation and flexibility as we all work together to navigate the new normal. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at 616-956-3488 or via our online contact form at dsawm.org/contact. We look forward to seeing you all soon!
