To model respectful communication and avoid future misunderstandings, NAUA Board Trustees felt it was important to create, adopt and affirm a code of conduct moving forward. Thank you to trustee Jan Anderson for creating the initial draft, which was slightly modified and adopted by the full board.
Trustees present at the closed December 17th board meeting affirmed adherence to these ideals and pledged to hold themselves and each other accountable. Members are encouraged to read these guidelines and adopt them in their own internal communications, in order to model our respect for the inherent dignity of all individuals and all peoples. These guidelines also reflect the importance we place on our values of freedom, reason and tolerance.
The board pledges to review the Code of Conduct annually and update as necessary. Future trustees will be asked to affirm the code upon joining the board.
