The information presented at this seminar reflects the viewpoints of the instructors and does not necessarily express the

discrimination or harassment at its seminars, meetings or within its work environment. Employees, participants, faculty,

common law should report the incident to the TMCEC Executive Director immediately. All such alleged acts will be
investigated and consideration given to the appropriate action, if any, to be taken.

this section, “campaigning” means activities and communications in any form by or on behalf of a nominee as an Officer
