Attending In-Person Community Norms
For community members attending in-person and online, please respect the following norms:
Be respectful of the conversations happening .
Currently there is no allotted time for community members to speak out. Please be mindful and refrain from speaking out. During subcommittee work time respect our members' work time and due to space constraints please limit moving from your space. If you joining us virtually, you will be moved to a separate breakout room during subcommittee work time because we also have LEAC members joining us via Zoom.
Take away information; not personal experiences.
Assume positive intent; seek to understand first.
Any follow up questions or information can be directed to members after the meeting if members have time, if not we ask you to email LEAC.
