AFS Code of Conduct
As you know, the American Fisheries Society has a Code of Conduct for participants in all AFS activities, including Chapter meetings. The purpose of the Code of Conduct is to ensure a safe, productive, and welcoming environment for all meeting participants, including vendors and non-AFS guests. The AFS Ethics and Professional Conduct Committee (EPCC) is responsible for handling complaints related to potential violations of the Code of Conduct, while helping to ensure consistent treatment of members across all AFS units. The EPCC has created an online reporting form for meeting attendees to submit complaints directly to the EPCC chair. Please take time to familiarize yourself with the Code of Conduct and its purpose.
