NON DISCRIMINATION POLICYThe Genealogical Society of Hispanic America- Southern California (GSHA-SC) is dedicated to providing an environment free from discrimination where everyone is treated with respect and dignity.
Discrimination is a sociological term referring to the prejudicial treatment of an individual based solely on their membership (whether voluntary or involuntary) in a certain group or category. Discrimination is the actual behavior towards members of another group. It involves excluding or restricting members of one group from opportunities that are available to other groups. GSHA-SC does not engage in or endorse discrimination, harassment, and bullying against any person for any reason due to age, ancestry, color, disability or handicap, national origin, race, religion, gender, sexual or affectional orientation, gender identity, genetic information, appearance, political affiliation, marital status, veteran status, or any other characteristic prohibited by state or local law. In addition, GSHA-SC will not fund or participate in specific events, as a vendor, speaker or in other roles, in which individuals are barred from access to services due to such discrimination. This policy was created based on a similar policy at Abundant Genealogy and is used by permission. ETHICS AND WHISTLEBLOWERThe Genealogical Society of Hispanic America Southern California (GSHA-SC) values its reputation for ethical operation. In order to protect and maintain this reputation, a policy to detail the expectation of ethical behavior as well as the protection of those who may uncover any behavior contrary to that expectation has been created. In 2002, the US Congress passed Sarbanes-Oxley legislation. GSHA-SC has used this legislation as guidance in creating its policy.
It is the intent of GSHA-SC to maintain its high standards of business ethics, as well as to adhere to all laws and regulations that apply to the organization. Directors and Representatives of the organization must practice honesty and integrity in fulfilling their responsibilities at all times. The support of all Members is necessary to achieve compliance with the various laws and regulations. The GSHA-SC Board of Directors is responsible for setting ethical standards and ensuring that they permeate the organization and guide its practices. The Board expects all the Directors to exhibit exemplary behavior and to hold all Society Members to the highest ethical standards. This includes following strict financial guidelines and precludes deriving any personal benefit from any society activity derived as a result of being a Member of the Board. Further, if any Member of the GSHA-SC reasonably believes that some policy, practice, or activity of GSHA-SC is in violation of law or that any suspected financial impropriety or misuse of the Society’s resources has occurred, that individual is encouraged to file a written complaint with the Society’s current board of officers. The Board will also establish a procedure to ensure that such reporting takes place in confidence and that a tracking system of complaints and corrective actions be implemented to preclude recurrence of the violation. In order to ensure understanding across the Membership, the Society’s Secretary will ensure that the Ethics and Whistleblower Protection Notification is prominently posted in the Society’s website, blog or any other electronic device media to be access by the public as required by State law.
