 | The Coalition must be above reproach in our
dealings with other members of the public and elected officials. To do
otherwise would undermine our effectiveness and detract from accomplishing
our mission. |
 | Many of the meetings we attend are public
hearings. These are usually quasi-judicial or legislative proceedings. In
such meetings, we must always observe and encourage others to observe proper
decorum:
 | Behavior during these meetings should be
the same as if they were held in a court room. |
 | There must be no outbursts. This includes
applause, booing, heckling, etc. |
 | We must always speak respectfully to
others. We can disagree without being disagreeable. |
 | Avoid private conversations. They make it
difficult for others to hear the proceedings. |
 | There must be no demonstrations including display of signs and placards. |
