PTPL statement on incident
Today during our annual meeting, there was an incident where racially charged language was used during one of the breakout sessions. This language is unacceptable. The PTPL Executive Board feels the need to address this situation and take action.
This incident is not representative of PTPL as an organization. PTPL supports diversity and inclusion and condemns racism in all its forms.
The PTPL Executive Board acknowledges that a code of conduct should have been implemented to ensure safety and inclusivity. From now on, a code of conduct will be required and enforced for all participants during all PTPL-sponsored events.
