Observer Guidelines
Code of Conduct
- As is the case with all participants at CASA’s conferences, Observers are required to abide by CASA’s Code of Conduct.
Participation during CASA Conferences
- Members shall decide before the beginning of any breakout sessions, committee meetings or other similar informal planning sessions held by CASA members, what rules they wish members to adhere to for the session in question, and shall be responsible for communicating those rules to observers prior to the session commencing.
- Observer schools are encouraged to participate in discussions, ask questions of member schools, and otherwise to engage in lines of inquiry that help clarify for themselves the nature of CASA operations, policy and advocacy goals.
Plenary
- Observer schools are invited to view the plenary session, but will not be permitted to sit at the plenary table.
- Speaking permissions can be given to an observer by a CASA member school.
- The membership, at its own discretion, can, by a majority vote, choose to enter in an “in-camera” session during plenary. Should this occur, all observers and non-members are required to leave the room.
Social Media
Delegates are encouraged to talk about the conference and their work with CASA over the year on social media, and can use our official hashtag #CASAAGM18 or our Snapchat filter to do so.
