AdaMarie Professional Network Community Guidelines
Welcome to the AdaMarie Professional Network, a supportive space for women in STEM and allies to connect and grow. We aim to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment where members can access mentorship, build meaningful networks, navigate workplace challenges, and confidently explore their career paths.
We're building something special together. To maintain a space that reflects our shared values of integrity, curiosity, and mutual respect, all members are expected to follow these community guidelines:
Lead with Kindness and Respect
Treat all members with empathy, patience, and respect. We welcome diverse perspectives and encourage honest, constructive dialogue that uplifts rather than divides.
Zero Tolerance for Bullying or Harassment
Harassment, bullying, or harmful or targeted behavior is strictly prohibited. This includes microaggressions, unsolicited messages, and disrespectful or dismissive interactions.
Foster an Uplifting, Growth-Oriented Space
Share resources, stories, and conversations that support learning, empowerment, and personal or professional growth. We're here to build each other up.
Stay Aligned with Our Purpose
Keep your posts and comments relevant to our community's focus: career development, mentorship, networking, wellness, and professional empowerment in STEM. Off-topic content may be moderated.
No Hate Speech or Discrimination
We do not tolerate hate speech or discriminatory language based on race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, ability, age, or background.
Honor Privacy and Consent
Respect the privacy of fellow members. Do not share personal information or private messages without consent. If you're sharing someone else's story or work, get permission or give clear attribution.
Use Reporting Tools Thoughtfully
If you witness behavior that goes against these guidelines, please report it. Our moderation team will respond promptly and appropriately to uphold the integrity of the space.
Accountability Matters
Violations of these guidelines may result in a warning, temporary suspension, or removal from the community. We're committed to a restorative and fair approach but will act decisively to keep our community safe.
These guidelines apply to all community interactions across AdaMarie spaces, including the AdaMarie Professional Network (APN), the Job Board, hosted one-off events, accelerator sessions, and the Career Navigation Summit. By participating in any AdaMarie-hosted space, whether within the network or through other channels, you agree to uphold and abide by these guidelines, contributing to a culture of encouragement, equity, and shared growth.
We're so glad you're here. Let's build something bold—together.
