In the DMRs, delegates will be seated at assigned classroom tables spaced to accommodate one person per six-foot table. In the General Session Hall and DMRs in both Orlando and Cape Town, seating will be limited to 50% capacity. In Orlando, there will be a General Session Hall in the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) and separate meeting rooms for each Episcopal District delegation, chaplains, and paid observers. We will seat a maximum of 250 people in each room to ensure physical distancing guidelines. DMRs will be in the OCCC and partner hotels.Īttendees in the General Session Hall will include active and retired bishops and supervisors, active and retired general officers and their spouses, connectional officers (including the WMS and CLO delegates), the Judicial Council, members of the Board of Incorporators college deans and presidents, other guests, and program participants. Onlycredentialed delegates, alternates, and district leadership will be allowed in the DMRs. AME Church leadership and delegates from Episcopal Districts 14-15 and 17-20 will meet at the CTICC in Cape Town, South Africa. AME Church leadership, delegates, alternates, chaplains, college deans and presidents, and paid observers from Episcopal Districts 1-13 and 16 will meet in Orlando, Florida. Fourth, protect the AME Church and its membership.ĭue to international travel concerns, the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) in Cape Town, South Africa location was added. Third, institute CDC recommended measures to help control the possibility of a COVID-19 outbreak and minimize the impact if one should occur. Second, reduce the size of crowds gathered at any one time, in any place or space, to reinforce physical and social distancing. First, provide an opportunity for a safer gathering to conduct the necessary business following CDC, Florida Department of Health, and local government guidance. With the unfortunate, yet improving, situation of COVID-19, the question was raised, “How to best hold an in-person General Conference in the safest manner possible?” The answer to the question led to the development of a meeting plan with several goals in mind. Within each delegation meeting room (DMR), delegates will be able to use the speaker queue system to address the General Conference assembly as well as vote in real-time. Each room and location will be virtually connected for all General Conference proceedings. Rather than meeting as one large group in one large room, we will meet in smaller rooms and multiple locations according to delegations. The General Conference will utilize the “Orlando Hybrid” model with meetings in two cities: Orlando, Florida, and Cape Town, South Africa. The “Orlando Hybrid” meeting design will decentralize the convention. The Connectional Lay Organization Biennial will open the morning of July 11 and close the afternoon of July 12, 2021. It’s official! The 51 st Quadrennial Session of the AME Church General Conference will be held July 6-10, 2021.
