  • Adhere to forum protocols. Outside of the forum, talk about Nothing that is said in the forum to Nobody under any circumstances. Never means forever (“Nothing, Nobody, Never”). 

  • Do not share member-specific content outside of YNBC. This includes the absolute privacy of members’ personal and confidential information, member rosters (current or past members), member-to-member requests and “off the record” comments from speakers and resources.

• Accept and embrace the diversity of perspectives across the YNBC peer community. Different business, geographic, cultural, age, gender and ethnic perspectives help us become better leaders. 

 

Enforcing the code 

 

This Code of Conduct applies to every member. Members are responsible for the conduct of their family members within the YNBC community. Members must affirm each year that they understand and commit to the Code of Conduct.
