Greystone Member Code of Conduct
GREYSTONE GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
CODE OF CONDUCT OVERVIEW
CONDUCT INVOLVING VERBAL AND WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
Protection of Members from being subjected to inappropriate verbal harangues or verbal abuse is critical to every Member’s peaceful enjoyment of the Club. Members’ general freedom of expression must be exercised in amanner that does not infringe upon the rights of others. To strike a proper balance between these competing interests, the Club has enacted and will enforce reasonable restrictions that are commonly adhered to by the members of fine private clubs. Ordinarily, the Club will not be concerned with private, consensual communications between Members that are not overheard by others. Problems arise, however, when communications are made to or overheard by persons who are offended or otherwise object to the content or manner of the communication.
In the context of verbal and written communications, improper content is similar to that previously addressed regarding electronic communications.
With regard to the manner of verbal communications, Members should ensure that their conversations occur in a manner, at a volume and in a location where they are not likely to be overheard by others. For this reason, Members should take particular care about verbal communications made at Club facilities or public locations in third-parties’ presence. The items discussed in this previous section are addressed in more depth because they are the most relevant and common areas where Members may engage in unbecoming conduct. The additional areas where Member conduct is an issue are listed on the next page.
NON DISCRIMINATION POLICY
In the Club Bylaws it states that “The Club does not have and shall not have any policy which would discrimi nate against Members, prospective Members or their family members on the basis of race, creed, color, sex, religion or national origin.” We expect all Members to abide by the same non discrimination policy, creating an environment where all are welcome.
NON HARASSMENT POLICY
The Club is committed to maintaining an environment free from prohibited harassment, where everyone is treated with respect and dignity while on Club premises. The Club has a zero-tolerance policy for unlawful harassment.
