Civility and Professional Guidelines:

Considerable time and resources have been invested into designing a unique opportunity for community leaders and members to hear some of the nation’s preeminent thought leaders share their perspectives on how to build vibrant and thriving communities. In addition, the series includes time for attendees to reflect and share their thinking after each keynote presentation.

In order to realize optimal value from the series and to ensure all participants feel welcome, it is expected that all attendees honor:

* Recognizing the dignity and humanity of others by valuing their experiences and perspectives and appreciating their contributions and feedback, even if they differ from their own.

* Maintaining civil and inclusive behavior, including controlling negative emotions or reactions, and refraining from uncivil responses, such as combative argumentation or contentious or disruptive remarks and gestures.

* Managing their own “talk time” so that all who wish to speak have an opportunity to do so.
