There are frequent scenarios that an Executive Board may have to navigate while overseeing the day to day operations of a chapter

1. Member Removal

  • Unfortunately, there are situations where a member may need to be removed from PGN either during the new membership process or after the member has been initiated.

  • Depending on the situation, these proceedings can put the chapter executive board in an uncomfortable position when removing an individual from the organization.

2. Mandatory Events

  • Any event that is deemed 'mandatory' by the executive board should have a direct correlation to PGN's values and development a new member throughout the education process to avoid conflict.

3. Alcohol Incidents 

  • If alcohol is involved in any event where PGN members are present, be sure that those consuming are of age and are drinking responsibly to mitigate issues.

4. Sexual Assault 

  • Allegations of sexual assault or harassment brought by or against a member of PGN must be investigated thoroughly.

  • Issues of this nature should be reported to the chapter's Standards / Risk Management board and there should be standard procedures in place for how to proceed.
