Page’s Non-Solicitation Policy: 3 Key Points
Do not use Page relationships or events to promote products or services, including cold pitches, follow-ups aimed at generating business, or meeting requests for business development.
Page is a trusted space for shared learning and furthering the profession. Member contact info is for connection, not solicitation.
Page staff will intervene if this policy is violated. Repeated offenses may result in limited participation or loss of membership, at the discretion of the Board of Trustees.
To foster a culture of trust and peer support, members shall not engage in any unsolicited communication—verbal, written, or digital—primarily intended to promote or sell a product, service, or professional offering to another Page or Page Up member. This includes cold pitches, post-event follow-ups intended to generate business, or asking for meetings for business development purposes. While business connections are a natural outcome of relationship building, Page activities (virtual and in-person) are not intended to be sales environments. All Page programs are peer-to-peer, and contact information for members of the community should not be used for solicitation. Violations of this policy may result in direct intervention by Page leadership, with repeated offenses leading to limitations on participation in Page activities or removal from the membership.
We trust members to use good judgment and to help us keep the focus on the community. Though failures to observe Page’s non-solicitation policy are rare, they have a disproportionately negative impact on peer engagement. If you experience unwelcome solicitation through the Page network, please privately inform Page’s CEO, Rochelle Ford at rford@page.org. Thank you for your effort in helping to uphold the integrity of our community by ensuring interactions remain focused on learning, collaboration, and the collective advancement of the profession.
