AOM Board Adopts Revised Code of Ethics and Bylaws Change

    Hello Gayle,

    Happy new year!

    In addition to Lotte's comment:

    As I mentioned to you in a previous message, I was very happy to see that "gender identity" has made it into the revised code, which essentially serves also as the AoM's non-discrimination policy.  I would have liked to see "gender identity" be accompanied by "gender expression", which together are the common language used these days to indicate non-discrimimation of transgendered individuals.  I would like to see GDO stand behind this change as well.

    Thanks,
    Ron
