Report of the Ethics Committee:
-An FFDC member (complainant) filed a complaint against another club member (the respondent) alleging violations of the Club’s Code of Conduct in connection with Club events. Through an investigation, the committee found their claims to be credible and made the following recommendations: The respondent will be on a 2-year probationary period, in which time the respondent must not engage in the complained about conduct again. Should they violate this probationary period, there will be an expedited ethics complaint process of 2 weeks to investigate those violations. The resolution was approved by the board, subject to Board approval of the letter that will be sent
