Complaints + Sanctions

Anyone who witnesses a violation of a Chapter policy or code of conduct at a Chapter function should report the incident to an available Officer onsite at an SKDC-sponsored function. Officers will then relay the incident to the Commissioner and Director, Diversity, Equity + Inclusion (DEI) if either of them was not the onsite Officer. If an Officer is not available at an SKDC-sponsored function, the incident should be reported via the online incident report form.

Following an allegation of misconduct by a member, the Commissioner and/or the Director, DEI will determine if the allegation is within the jurisdiction of the Chapter. If so, the Commissioner and/or the Director, DEI will lead any necessary investigation and carry out any required actions to resolve the complaint.

If warranted, the Commissioner will carry out any sanctions determined to be appropriate by the Director, DEI. Sanctions may include verbal warnings, written warnings, suspensions and, if the violation is repetitive or particularly egregious, expulsion from the Chapter.

Members will not be refunded any registration fees if they are sanctioned.
