ENM Ozark Meet-n-Greet Guidelines

E very attendee must have their own ticket.

Be kind. Be respectful. Have fun!

Be curious, ask questions, listen, and be supportive.

If you are not sure, just ask! Asking questions benefits everyone by providing clarity and knowledge. Here are a few examples to help understanding.

"Hey, you mentioned you and your partner aren't non-monogamous. I love that you're here, but I am curious what drew you to it. Are you open to sharing?"

“I noticed you don’t have your pronouns listed on your name tag... I wanted to check with you to make sure I get it right. Are you open to sharing your pronouns?”

"Hey, I have a question but I am not really sure how to ask it and I don't want to offend anyone. I am going to do my best but do you guys mind if I give it a whirl? I’d love some feedback if there are ways I could do better."

Create a safe environment. Engage and welcome an environment free from harassment, discrimination, or judgment. Any form of harassment, including verbal, physical, or sexual, will not be tolerated.

Respect diversity in all its forms. This group is made up of many different types of people with different backgrounds, gender identities, sexual orientations, race, beliefs, ethnicity, age, body type, and ability. Welcome everyone with respect.

Stay AWAY if you are sick. Do not show up to this event if you are at all sick or feel like you are becoming ill. We want to keep all participants healthy, including you. This applies to hosts, and there may be a chance that the event will be postponed if a host becomes ill prior to the event.

Safe space for NO participation. Some attendees may prefer to observe rather than engage in activities. Respect their choice and do not pressure them to engage in activities or conversation they are not comfortable with.

No means no. If someone declines an invitation to share something about themselves or declines a proposition, leave it there. Do NOT attempt to coerce, push, guilt-trip, or persuade anyone to do or say anything out of their comfort zone.

Say something if you need help. If you find yourself in an unsafe or uncomfortable situation, you can speak to a designated host or moderator. There are 2 designated hosts/moderators responsible for enforcing the agreements who will handle any conflicts or concerns and provide support to attendees if needed.

Respect the boundaries of all participants. If someone communicates a boundary, it must be honored without question or negotiation.

Keep private information PRIVATE. Please be respectful of other people’s privacy. Not everyone here is necessarily open to or comfortable with being open or sharing information about themselves in the broader community. Please be aware of this and do NOT share information about anyone ever to anyone outside of this group unless you have been given absolute consent to do so from that person.

This is not a sex party…This is a meet-awesome-people event!

Give feedback for improvement. Please feel free to talk to a host or email (enmozark@gmail.com) with any feedback, questions, or concerns you have before, during, or after the event.
