The ELC is eagerly awaiting the start of our 2022 Recognition Gala. In anticipation of your arrival at the Marriott Marquis in Washington, DC, we want to remind you that the health, safety and well-being of our ELC community is our highest priority. To provide an easy and worry-free check-in experience, The ELC has selected CLEAR Health Pass as our digital platform to confirm Covid-19 vaccination status and test results.
Gala attendees are encouraged to download the CLEAR Health Pass app, create a profile using code “ELCGALA22,” and upload your proof of vaccination and rapid test results BEFORE arriving to the Marriott Marquis.

Covid-19 test results must be uploaded within 24-hours of arrival – NO LATER THAN 12 PM ET. Attendees who upload test results after 12 PM ET WILL BE REQUIRED to test on-site at The ELC Covid-19 Testing Suite. For these Gala attendees, on-time admittance to the 2022 ELC Recognition Gala is not guaranteed. Follow the instructions linked below to create your CLEAR Health Pass profile!
No exceptions will be made to our Covid-19 vaccination and testing policy.
For attendees participating in multiple programs during the week of October 3rd, a separate CLEAR Health Pass is required for each program. In accordance with CDC guidelines and the CLEAR Health Pass app, attendees on-site at the Marriott Marquis for more than (3) days will be required to re-test for Covid-19 and upload a NEW test result to the app. For example, if you are arriving on Monday, October 3rd, you will need to resubmit a new Covid-19 test via the app on Thursday, October 6th to attend Gala.
