Meeting Bylaws, Ethics, and Code of Conduct
The board amended some bylaws and adopted an ethics policy + code of conduct for OPDMC members to view. If you have attended any recent Entomological Society event, we relied heavily on their ethics policies and language as a guide. We are not asking members to sign on to this yet, but please read through these documents ahead of the meeting and plan to come to Portland with any comments, questions, and concerns. We have set aside agenda time for discussion among the membership. You may also send written comments or questions to Teah Smith.
