Code of Conduct

It is the policy of the Board of Directors of the North Dakota Long Term Care Association to expect adherence to the following guidelines concerning the professional conduct of members, attendees, and staff at NDLTCA events.

 

NDLTCA is committed to providing a respectful, safe, productive, and inclusive environment for all meeting participants, invited guests, and NDLTCA staff.

 

NDLTCA promotes equal opportunities and treatment for all participants. All participants are expected to treat others with respect and consideration and follow venue rules.

 

NDLTCA meetings or related events provide education, networking and the exchange of information in a respectful, professional manner. Discussion of opposing or different viewpoints is appropriate but is expected to be conducted in a courteous tone and manner that avoids personal attacks. NDLTCA events are not an opportunity to air personal grievances. All participants must comply with the instructions of the moderator and any NDLTCA staff.

 

Unacceptable behavior includes:

  • Intimidating, harassing, abusive, discriminatory, derogatory, or demeaning speech or actions by any participants at or in relation to the NDLTCA meeting or related events.
  • Engaging in or threatening violence against other attendees and/or participants, NDLTCA staff, or support staff associated with the event.
  • Disrupting a meeting or related event.

 

What to do if you witness or experience conduct that violates this Code of Conduct

If an individual’s conduct/behavior violates this Code of Conduct, it should be promptly brought to the attention of NDLTCA staff. If a situation escalates and/or becomes physical in nature, contact venue security as soon as possible (if available) or call 911, and then immediately notify NDLTCA staff.

 

Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior

Unacceptable behavior outlined in this Code of Conduct will not be tolerated at NDLTCA meetings or related events. Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately. NDLTCA reserves the right to take any action deemed necessary and appropriate, including immediate removal from the meeting without warning or refund, in response to any incident of unacceptable behavior. Additionally, NDLTCA reserves the right to prohibit attendance at any future meeting, virtually or in person, as well as suspend or terminate membership without refunding dues.

Refund/Cancellation Policy

If a registrant cannot attend, an alternate registrant may attend in his/her place. Cancellations received more than 20 business days prior will receive a full refund for the registration fee. Cancellations received 13-19 business days prior will receive a refund of 75% of the registration fee. Cancellations received 6-12 business days prior will receive a refund of 50% of the registration fee. Cancellations after this time/date will be charged the full registration fee.  No refunds for any credit card fees if paid via credit card. All cancellations must be made in writing and may be emailed to peggy@ndltca.org and belma@ndltca.org. Refunds if applicable will be issued via check from NDLTCA after the Convention, regardless of original payment type.

Survey/Organization Related Disaster

A full refund, minus registration fee and any credit card fees, will be issued due to a state survey or organization-related disaster. Facilities meeting these circumstances must send proof of the survey and/or disaster.

Inclement Weather/Illness

There are no refunds available for cancellations due to weather if the seminar itself is not cancelled. In the case of illness, death in the family or other reason, the organization may send another individual to take the place of the current registrant or receive the handout material; no refund will be issued in these circumstances.

Substitution Policy/No Badge Sharing Policy

If you register and then are unable to attend, you may send someone in your place at no additional charge. Substitutions must be submitted in writing prior to the first day of the Convention. After this date, all substitutions will be processed at on-site registration. Please email peggy@ndltca.org or belma@ndltca.org the full name, facility, address, telephone number and email address of the individual who will be replacing you, thereby authorizing the substitution to be made. If the original person has already received their badge in the mail, please follow the same steps when emailing belma@ndltca.or and have the substitute bring the original registrant’s badge to hand in at the on-site registration desk. There will be no sharing of a Full Registration amongst staff.

Continuing Education

Attendees will be scanned in and out of sessions to monitor and track attendance. In order to receive full credit, you must attend the entire session. In the event of late arrival and/or early departure, hours will be amended accordingly. Credit is only available for each session attended. It is the responsibility of the attendee to be sure that they get scanned in and out of each session they attend. It is also their responsibility to report any issue with the badge being scanned to the room monitor.

All participants will be able to download their Certificate of Attendance after the conference is over.
