Nondiscrimination
Nondiscrimination Policy
Another important practice in fostering an appropriate club culture is the formal adoption of a nondiscrimination policy. An example:
[Club], its directors, officers, agents, and employees shall not discriminate against any director, officer, agent, employee, or member or any other individual on the basis of color, religion, race, nationality, ethnic origin, age, sexual orientation, gender, class or disability.
[Club], its members, if any, directors, officers, volunteers, and employees shall not discriminate against any member, director, officer, customer, visitor, applicant for scholarship or other [club] programs and services, guest, employee or any other individual on the basis of color, religion, race, nationality, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender, class or disability in accordance all federal and state laws that may apply. This policy applies to all aspects of [club]. [Club] is an equal opportunity organization in all regards.
Upon notification of violation of this policy, [Club] will take action immediately, and disciplinary action will be taken, up to and including termination of employment, dismissal from the board of directors, or termination of membership.
This is an example only. The legal requirements of nondiscrimination may vary from state to state or may already be dictated by by-laws or corporate policies – please refer to these and seek legal council if needed.
