Code of Conduct

The Geranium & Pelargonium Society of Western Australia Inc. (GAPSWA) founded in 1959, is an 
historic
society which aims to provide information and encouragement on growing genera of the Geraniaceae 
family as well as creating a happy and welcoming atmosphere.

As a Society operated solely by volunteers for the benefit of our members, all members of the 
Geranium & Pelargonium Society of Western Australia Inc. have an individual and collective 
responsibility to contribute in a positive way to the operations of the Society.

In the spirit of the GAPSWA’s stated aims, the committee has developed a Code of Conduct based on 
the following core principles.

. Treat all people with dignity and respect

. Act ethically and with integrity

. Comply with our Code of Conduct and the Guidelines for Plant Sales At All GAPSWA Events, The 
Rules and Sub Rules

Social Media:
All references to the GAPSWA in social media postings, blogs, status updates and tweets will be 
treated as public “comment” and no statements should be made that are misleading, false or likely 
to injure a person’s reputation or bring the Society into dispute. Offending posts will be removed 
and those responsible will be blocked from the site.

With our Code of Conduct and with The Rules, the Sub Rules and the Guidelines for Plant Sales at 
All GAPSWA Events, we look forward to building on the efforts of those who have gone before us to 
secure the
Geranium & Pelargonium Society of Western Australia Inc. for the next 67 years and beyond.
