Code of Conduct

In all of our interactions, we aspire to embody and champion the below values:  


Be friendly and welcoming 

     - Listen with purpose, create space for others’ communication preferences 

     - Ask yourself how you can make someone else’s life easier 

Be patient  

     - Remember that people have varying communication styles and preferences 

     - Recognize that not everyone is using their native language (meaning and tone can be lost in translation) 

Be thoughtful 

     - Think about how others will interpret your words – productive, clear communication requires effort! 

     - Remember that sometimes it is best to refrain entirely from commenting 

Be respectful and inclusive 

     - Respect differences of opinion 

     - Seek to build bridges and understand, not condemn or criticize 

     - Make a conscious effort to include people who differ from you 

Be open and curious 

     - Assume good intent and interpret others’ statements or questions in good faith 

     - Ask questions to understand, not denounce 

     - Focus on continuous learning - get better at the things you already know, tackle completely new things, and ask others about their expertise to deepen yours 

In Summary: 

- Treat everyone with respect, kindness and empathy

- Use welcoming and inclusive language 

- Be thoughtful in how you communicate in person and online  

- Don’t be destructive or inflammatory  

- Gracefully accept constructive criticism

- Listen with purpose, create space for communication preferences; honor them by shifting to accommodate
