  Principles of Community
  (Modified from the University of California, Davis Principles of Community)

  The California Master Beekeeper Program (CAMBP) is first and foremost a program of learning, teaching, research and public service. CAMBP reflects and is committed to serving the needs of a global society comprising all people and a multiplicity of identities. We expect that every member of our community acknowledge, value, and practice the following guiding principles.

  We affirm the dignity inherent in all of us, and we strive to maintain a climate of equity and justice demonstrated by respect for one another. We acknowledge that our society carries within it historical and deep-rooted injustices and biases. Therefore, we endeavor to foster mutual understanding and respect among the many parts of our whole.

  We affirm the right of freedom of expression within our community. We affirm our commitment to nonviolent exchange and the highest standards of conduct and decency toward all. Within this context we reject violence in all forms. We promote open expression of our individuality and our diversity within the bounds of courtesy, sensitivity and respect. We further recognize the right of every individual to think, speak, express and debate peacefully.

  We confront and reject all manifestations of discrimination, including those based on race, ethnicity, gender and gender expression, age, visible and non-visible disability, nationality, sexual orientation, citizenship status, veteran status, religious/non-religious, spiritual, or political beliefs, socio-economic class, status within or outside the program, or any of the other differences among people which have been excuses for misunderstanding, dissension or hatred. We recognize and cherish the richness contributed to our lives by our diversity. We take pride in all our achievements, and we celebrate our differences.

  We recognize that each of us has an obligation to the CAMBP community of which we have chosen to be a part. We will strive to build and maintain a culture and climate based on mutual respect and caring. Failure to meet these standards may result in immediate and permanent separation from the California Master Beekeeping Program.
