Expectations, Code of Conduct, & Attendance Policy

In AWTC Peer Collectives, you’ll build a strong sense of community, trust, and openness with fellow group members and advance your professional roadmap alongside other AWTC members in the association technology field.  Our focus is on exploring modern workplace challenges, co-creating solutions, and building strong connections together.

To ensure everyone has a positive experience, we’ve outlined the following expectations and code of conduct:

Successful group of business women engaged in productive discussion
Expectations and Code of Conduct:

We expect all members to prioritize creating an inclusive environment and always to treat one another with respect. Please make time and space for each person to share their experiences.

This is a confidential community built on trust and safety, so please refrain from:

  • Sharing AWTC Peer Collectives discussions outside of the group (what happens in the Circle, stays in the Circle.)
  • Excessive self-promotion or promotion of one’s organization/consultancy.
  • Sharing members’ personal contact information or misusing it

AWTC is committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all members feel safe, respected, and valued. As such, we strictly prohibit any form of hateful or illegal behavior, including harassment, discrimination, derogatory or racist remarks. Our zero-tolerance policy ensures swift action, and the AWTC team reserves the right to terminate membership and participation in AWTC Peer Collectives immediately should someone engage in such behavior.

 

Attendance Policy

Attendance is a key ingredient for making the most out of your AWTC Peer Circle journey. We truly value your commitment and want to ensure everyone gets the full benefit of the experience. With that in mind, we have crafted an attendance policy to keep things running smoothly while being mindful that life can sometimes throw curveballs.

 

Don't Skip Meetings

Participants are expected to attend all meetings. Consistent attendance helps maintain the group’s cohesion and ensures everyone’s professional roadmap stays on track. Additionally, in the first two sessions, we will set the stage, build connections, finalize the groups that participants will be facilitating, review templates for facilitation, and address any questions. These initial meetings are crucial for setting the stage and establishing connections within the group. We want to make sure everyone is set up for success.

If an urgent situation arises and you need to miss more than two meetings, please let us know. We are here to support you if there is an extenuating circumstance.

 

Be Punctual, Present, with Cameras On

Participation is a key aspect of the AWTC Peer Circle dynamic. Arriving on time and staying for the entire duration of each meeting ensures that everyone benefits fully and minimizes disruptions. Please be punctual and fully present.

We encourage members to join via video where possible, and please keep your cameras on during the sessions. This helps create a sense of connection and engagement, making the experience more collaborative for everyone.
