Proposal

Adoption of the following policy:

Harassment Policy

Lansing Makers Network (LMN) is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone. We do not tolerate harassment in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any LMN activity. Members or visitors violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from LMN at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of member activities or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. Anyone asked to stop harassing behavior is expected to comply immediately.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the Board of Directors may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from LMN. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a board member or officer immediately.

Board members and officers will be happy to help participants contact local law enforcement or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of their time at Lansing Makers Network. We value your attendance.

We expect participants to follow these rules at all LMN venues and LMN-related social events.
