We continue to take actions intended to protect our staff, guests, and vendors from COVID-19 while inside our office, Casa Grande. We continue to monitor laws, rules, regulations, and local guidance to update our protocols as needed.

Staff are required to be up-to-date on the COVID-19 vaccine to be in the office. All staff, guests, and vendors, regardless of vaccination status, are encouraged to follow CDC and local mask guidance while inside Casa Grande.
