Member Code of Conduct

As a PANA member…

I agree to the PANA member code of conduct, which includes all of the following:

I acknowledge that I am now a representative of PANA wherever I am by simply being a member of this organization, and, as such, I agree to take care in all facets of my life, career, and community to demonstrate honesty and integrity and to uphold kindness and respect to all with whom I associate.

I acknowledge that, as a 501(c)(6) trade association, PANA has legal limits to what it can and should do for members, including the recognition that contract standards, negotiation, verbiage, and enforcement is the exclusive domain of SAG/AFTRA. PANA’s purpose is to educate its members to improve their skills and/or certification, to educate and exemplify to the industry diversity, equity, and inclusion practices, and to educate the public on the value of human narrators. I agree that, if I have questions or concerns regarding the above matters, SAG/AFTRA member or no, I can email SAG/AFTRA’s Jane Love, Richard Larkin, and Andrea Henderson directly.

I agree to protect the security and integrity of PANA’s confidential and/or proprietary information, including archival videos, initiative and/or event ideas and/or programs, member records and/or data, committee and/or Board files/records/discussions, and any other data and/or information which is shared with me in the course of my PANA membership or volunteer service.

I acknowledge that by being a member, I agree to opt into the PANA member email list, which provides all important member information, although I can choose to opt out at any time.

I agree to comply with all state and federal laws and regulations.

I agree to abide by and support the fact that PANA is a no-tolerance organization when it comes to a hostile work environment, sexual harassment, harassment, abuse, discrimination, or retaliation, recognizing that all humans deserve dignity and respect.

I agree to uphold this code of conduct at all PANA events, within all internal and external PANA communications, and within the audiobook community overall.

I acknowledge that failure to live up to this code of conduct is grounds for removal from PANA’s membership in accordance with PANA’s bylaws. 

And finally, I acknowledge that I am a pretty great person for wanting to support this cool group of nifty audiobook narrators.
