Code of Conduct

AIGA DC and DotGov Design are dedicated to providing harassment-free experiences for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ability status, physical appearance, race, ethnicity, age, religion, or political affiliation.

We expect individuals at our events to also adhere to the National AIGA Code of Conduct.

We also ask to abide by certain principles to encourage open dialogue about difficult topics. 

We value respectful behavior above individual opinions.

  • Ensure all voices are heard

  • Actively listen

  • Respect differences in opinion

  • Use “I“ statements

  • Lean into discomfort

  • Address the issue, not the person

  • Be honest and embrace honesty
