Career Up Now Code of Conduct

Career Up Now Anti-Harassment Code of Conduct

Career Up Now is committed to creating an environment that exemplifies Jewish values such as kavod habriot (human dignity), and hinuch (learning) and the Talmud’s teaching that kol yisrael arevim zeh bazeh, that “all Israel is responsible for one another” (Shavuot 39a). Jewish tradition recognizes that every person is created in the Divine image and should be treated as such, and the Jewish values of repairing the world, mutual responsibility, and not standing idly by while others are being harmed are fundamental to the creation, implementation, and upholding of this Code of Conduct.

Career Up Now is committed to creating a harassment-free environment for all participants, including conference registrants, staff, speakers, vendors, and volunteers. Harassment, as outlined below, is considered by Career Up Now to be a serious form of professional misconduct.

This Code of Conduct is established in order to promote safety and respect in all of our activities. We expect all participants at Career Up Now activities to abide by this policy in all venues, including ancillary events and unofficial social gatherings:

Exercise consideration and respect in your speech and actions;

Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech;

Be mindful of your surroundings and of your fellow participants;

Alert conference leadership if you notice a dangerous situation, someone in distress, or violations of this policy, even if they seem minor.

The following behaviors do not belong at Career Up Now gatherings.

Sexual harassment of any kind, including unwelcome sexual attention and inappropriate physical contact;

Harassment that discriminates against a specific group of people based on age, race, sex, ethnicity, national origin, religion, language, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, disability, health conditions, socioeconomic status, marital status, domestic status, or parental status (hereafter, simply harassment);

Abuse of power (including abuses related to position, wealth, race or gender).

If while at a Career Up Now event, you have been involved in or have witnessed an incident that violates the Code of Conduct, please report to [Bradley Cook, 917-767-2479 bradley@careerupnow.org]]. Reports will be treated as confidential. Share as much information as you can to help Career Up Now make a thorough investigation of the onsite incident.

Career Up Now’s the commitment

Career Up Now will investigate all incidents reported with discretion and confidentiality. Career Up Now reserves the right to bar any person who violates our Code of Conduct from attending the conference in its entirety or in part, and/or to cancel the membership of the person.

The above code of conduct was originally developed by the SafetyRespectEquity Coalition for the 2019 Jewish Funders Network Conference.

Career Up Now does not sell or lease PII about you. Career Up Now will provide your e-mail address to affiliates or users who refer you to us, or through whom you create a Career Up Now account. Career Up Now reserves the right to disclose and use your PII if Career Up Now believes it is necessary to: (a) respond to legal process, e.g., a subpoena; (b) respond to a law enforcement agency’s request; (c) enforce the Terms; or (d) protect the rights, privacy, safety, property, or operations of Career Up Now or third parties;

Because Non-PII does not personally identify You, Career Up Now reserves the right to use and disclose to third parties Non-PII for any purpose.
