MANNER AT MEETINGS
All members shall mutually respect each other and all opinions.

All members are urged to share their ideas and consider each others ideas respectfully.
No member shall use any form of personal criticism or ridicule.
A member may criticize an idea but never a fellow member.
A member must never interject or interfere with another member’s right to an uninterrupted floor when speaking.
All decisions should be based on consideration of the facts rather than on the skill of speakers, how one may personally feel about another, or on an opinion of how another might vote.
