Safety Protocols for in-person attendance:

• We follow best practices laid out by the CDC and state and local guidelines.
• We strongly recommend vaccination for guests, staff, and volunteers.
• Masks are encouraged while indoors (if you do not have one and would like one, inquire at our front desk for a complimentary mask).
• We reserve the right to require different rules for specific events as necessary.

Our LEED Gold-certified building is designed to cool with outside air, using digitally controlled moveable windows and large ceiling fans. We are deploying additional HEPA filters inside to scrub the air. This is all in addition to increased cleaning of surfaces throughout the building.

Please note as local and state public health guidelines continue to evolve, The Commonwealth Club of California may adjust guidelines, such as relaxing mask usage as appropriate. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation; we look forward to seeing you soon.
