Code of Conduct
Our Code of Conduct defines behaviors that constitute harassment, abuse, and bullying, and that may be subject to filing a grievance. Grievances are referred to our Harassment and Grievance Officers. If they are unable to mediate conflict or resolve prohibited behaviors, the Steering Committee may issue penalties against the misbehavior.
Bylaws
The bylaws of the chapter are the basic governing rules of our organization. Our bylaws establish the rights of the membership, the rules of our chapter meetings, the duties of the officers and the Steering Committee, and other rules. The bylaws can be amended by two-thirds of any meeting of the membership.
