Violations Of Code Of Conduct
Violations And The Manner In Which They Will Be Dealt With:
Violations of any tenets will be addressed at the time they occur depending upon the seriousness of the offense by a member of the club board of directors following the procedures outlined in the conflict resolution or grievance process.
First Offense:
Club member will be addressed verbally (in private) regarding the violation.
Second Offense:
If there is a second violation, the member will be removed from the activity and given a written warning. A face-to-face meeting with the member and/or the parent of the member or legal guardian may be in order.
Repeated Offenses:
If the member continually violates any tenet of the code of conduct, repeat offenses will be taken very seriously by the club board of directors. Discipline may include loss of club privileges for extended periods, and/or revocation of club membership.
