Member Commitment

ATHENA Circle Members must be committed to creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative space for each other,  by adhering to the following principles:

• Confidentiality: I will keep all information shared within the group strictly confidential.

• No Conflict of Interest: I will avoid situations that could create a conflict of interest, ensuring that my participation is solely focused on supporting the group. This is why no circle should have two members from the same department. I may occasionally have to recuse myself from group work if I sense a conflict of interest. 

• Honesty: I will be honest in presenting my own issues and giving feedback to others without judging them. I will express my thoughts and opinions with care and respect.

• Commitment: I will attend meetings regularly and actively participate in the group process. 

• Active Listening: I will listen attentively to others without judgment. I will seek to understand their perspectives and provide thoughtful feedback.
