Please explain <br />measures taken by <br />your organization to <br />mitigate the spread <br />of COVID-19. <br />In the early days of the pandemic, the Music Maker staff, aside from <br />Executiv e Director and Managing Director Tim and Denise Duffy, <br />worked remotely. W hen the staff did return to the office they wore <br />masks and each staff member worked in their own office space. Ev en <br />within the office, meetings were conducted ov er Zoom in order to <br />maintain social distance. Our staff is now 100% v accinated, including <br />those working full time in the office, as well as part time and <br />contracted employees. <br />W hen v accines became av ailable, our Artist Serv ices Coordinator, <br />Brittany Anderson, checked in with all of Music Maker’s partner <br />artists to ensure that they were well informed and had access and the <br />ability to receiv e a v accine. This was Brittany’s priority especially <br />because most of our Partner Artists are elderly and hav e preexisting <br />health conditions. <br />During the pandemic we began sending supplemental COVID relief <br />grants to artists who lost income due to the pandemic. W e wanted to <br />ensure that artists were able to stay home and did not hav e to take <br />measures or work that would put themselv es at risk in order to make <br />up for lost income. <br />W hen we produced v irtual ev ents ov er the course of the pandemic, <br />all artists were COVID tested prior to tapings. Aside from the artists <br />who were performing, all present wore masks and social distanced. <br />W e are continuing to express caution mov ing forward in planning <br />and executing ev ents. W e recently cancelled a concert that was <br />scheduled to take place at an indoor v enue in August because there <br />was high COVID spread in the area. W e do not want to put our artists <br />or audiences at risk and will continue to adapt and support our artists <br />and share their music in safe manners. <br />COVID-19 IMPACT <br />DATA <br />This data is for the OCAC's informational purposes only and may or <br />may not be applicable to your organization depending on your <br />structure. <br />Number of Staff <br />Eliminated since <br />March 15, 2020 <br />2FT <br />Number of Staff <br />Positions <br />Furloughed/Hours <br />Reduced since <br />March 15, 2020 <br />1PT <br />Number of Public <br />Events Cancelled <br />since March 15, <br />2020 <br />43 <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 20F9CBFD-5EC6-42C0-9D89-E47774163603
