It engages in ecumenical outreach to support vulnerable members with food and housing. Members participated in a Black Lives Matter march after the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Then in June, about 20 members of the church and community joined an eight-week class led by the senior pas- tor, Marci Scott-Weis, on Dismantling Racism, followed by an eight-week Compassion Cultivation Training course during the election season.

  • NWAC Fall 2020 COVID-19 Guidelines for Return to Play
    NWAC Fall 2020 COVID-19 Guidelines for Return to Play 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 3 Guiding Principles 4 Return to Play Guidelines 5 Color Phase Return to Play 6 Contingency Plan 8 2 INTRODUCTION When the COVID-19 epidemic first hit in March 2020, and NWAC was right in the eye of the storm hosting our basketball tournament in Everett, WA. Seemingly we went from an athletic conference to a de-facto triage unit. We have been discussing and determining our future by identifying concerns, priorities, and trying to sort out what we do know from what we do not know. From day one of probably the biggest challenge in NWAC history, member colleges, executive board members, NWAC athletic trainers, and office staff, has worked to do our part to slow the spread of COVID-19, address eligibility issues, and among other things, worked on a return to play plan. To address the wide variety of issues known and trying to anticipate unknown issues, NWAC reviewed a vast amount of literature, solicited input and engaged in multiple discussions with sports chairs and their committee members, commissioners, our peer conferences (California Community College Athletic Association, National Junior College Athletic Association), four-year conferences (Great Northwest Athletic Conference, Pacific Northwest Conference, Cascade Collegiate Conference), and consulted with our NCAA two-year liaison, Academic Affairs and Membership Associate Director, Greg Dana. From the outset it was clear that we would have to think differently about how the NWAC was to accomplish our mission while trying to prepare for a multitude of situations.
