Visual Resources Association
Code of Civility

The Visual Resources Association is committed to the highest ethical and professional standards of conduct as an integral part of the organization's mission, furthering research and education in the field of image management. To achieve this goal, the Association relies on each community member's ethical behavior, honesty, integrity, and good judgment. Each member should demonstrate respect for the rights and opinions of others and is responsible for his/her actions.

Disturbances at association events, including disruptive behavior or harassment that infringes upon the rights of others, may lead to disciplinary action or sanctions, especially if the act would interfere with the processes, procedures, or functions of the VRA. Any person who violates this code of civility may be subject to warning (verbal or written), removal from events, and/or denial of membership benefits. Any sanctions imposed will be based on the severity of the offense, amount of harm created, the violators record, and comparable offenses.
