YEAR IN REVIEW

The Atla Code of Conduct was introduced and implemented in Au-
gust 2023. The Conduct Committee is charged with promptly inves-
tigating and evaluating reports of violations of the Code of Conduct 
and determining appropriate outcomes.

The Conduct Committee met for the first time Nov 30, 2023 – Dec 
1, 2023, in Denver, CO. At the inaugural meeting, the committee de-
termined initial terms of service for its members, defined proposed 
qualifications for committee service, discussed feedback received 
from members, reviewed the language of the Code of Conduct, and 
proposed language revisions for the Code itself and recommenda-
tions for refinements to the Committee’s charge.

Committee members also received a full day of training in re-
storative justice from Jonathan Swartz from the Zehr Institute for 
Restorative Justice at Eastern Mennonite University.
