Hi, For folks going to the Evergreen Conference next week, please note that there is a code of conduct in effect <https://evergreen-ils.org/code-of-conduct/>
Evergreen event organizers are dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any event venue, including talks. Event participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the event without a refund at the discretion of the event organizers. Harassment includes, but is not limited to: * Violent threats, intimidation or personal insults directed against another person * Verbal, graphic or written comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion * Posting sexually explicit or violent material * Stalking or following, including harassing photography or recording * Sustained disruption of talks or other presentations * Inappropriate physical contact or sexual attention * Posting (or threatening to post) other people’s personally identifying information * Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior * Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop There is also a photography policy <https://evergreen-ils.org/conference/photography-policy/>: During the Evergreen International Conference, most attendees will have different colored badge lanyards showing their preference for photography: * Green (and no stripe): Photographs always okay * Yellow (and long stripe): Ask before photographing * Red (multiple short stripes): Photographs never okay, don’t ask There is no prior opt-in for audio or video recordings. You must always ask before recording. We are using the same lanyards that were used last year, so if you attended the conference in Hood River and happened to hang on to your lanyard, please feel free to bring it with you. If an issue should arise, please don't hesitate to contact any of the incident responders and members of the safety committee: * Melissa Ceraso * Lynn Floyd * Ruth Frasur * Rogan Hamby * Erica Rohfls * Jane Sandberg * Tanya Prokrym * Andrea Buntz-Neiman * Galen Charlton * Chauncey Montgomery * Chris Sharp Please also feel free to draw on these people if you are in need of an escort and/or advocate to, from, or at the conference venue. Responders will wear badge ribbons with the word "responder" on it; also, folks at the registration desk will be able to get in touch with responders.
