Guidelines
Women of the Vine & Spirits Business Resource Groups give members an opportunity to share their experiences, connect with one another and build our community. Sharing views, experiences, ideas and information is instrumental in creating a more inclusive and diverse alcohol beverage industry. Women of the Vine & Spirits is rooted in respect for the inherent dignity of each person. We foster a community that does not discriminate, or tolerate discrimination by any member of the community, against any individual on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, age, or disability.
We want our members to be able to talk openly about the issues that matter to them, even if some may disagree or find them objectionable. While we are committed to open expression, we also recognize that an online forum can create an increased opportunity for abuse. For these reasons, when we must limit expression, we do it in service of safety, privacy and dignity. It is in this spirit that we ask members of WOTVS to follow these guidelines:
- WOTVS is committed to making WOTVS Business Resource Groups a safe place. Expression that threatens people, has the potential to intimidate, exclude or silence others, is not permitted.
- WOTVS is committed to protecting personal privacy and information.
- WOTVS believes that all people are equal in dignity and rights. We require members to respect the dignity of others and not harass or degrade others in our WOTVS Groups.
- When appropriate, and when not in violation of the above guidelines, any posts that risk being exclusive, offensive, or disruptive to our community are to be addressed as learning moments by Group Leaders or WOTVS while protecting the person that originally posted in the Group.
- WOTVS members can report potentially violating content to the Group Leaders and/or to WOTVS Director of Operations, Kyndal Korsgaden, at Kyndal@womenofthevine.com
