All Foundation staff and Residents are subject to this provision, including contract and temporary employees and visitors on The ReCenter Foundation property.
“Foundation property” is defined as all Foundation-owned buildings and surrounding areas such as sidewalks, walkways, driveways and parking lots under the Foundation’s ownership or control. This policy applies to all Foundation-owned or leased vehicles and all vehicles that come onto company property.
