Facility Use Policy

GENERAL: All CrossWinds facilities are dedicated to carrying out our vision, mission and core values. Corporate uses take precedence over all other uses. CrossWinds facilities may be used for some civic or personal uses when not being used for corporate uses by schedule.

SPECIFIC: Use of CrossWinds facilities is possible under the following provisions/restrictions
