Motor Maids, Inc.
Code of Conduct

Adopted at Executive Board Meeting January 16, 2022

Background

The vision that Dot Robinson and Linda Dugeau, co-founders of the Motor Maids, had for this organization was to provide support for other women motorcyclists and to promote a positive image of motorcycling to the public. This enduring vision is reflected in the organization’s
policies, rules, and procedures (e.g., Constitution and Bylaws, Handbook, Informational Brochure).

As President of the Motor Maids, Dot reminded members of this vision during the 1960 Motor Maids Convention held in Washington D.C. She stated the following, “Bad conduct, bad appearance, and bad language are all grounds for membership board action.”

In keeping with that vision, the following is intended to clarify appropriate behavior for members of our organization. When an individual is identified as a member of the Motor Maids — through text, photographs, insignias, or other descriptive identifiers — this code of
conduct comes into effect. When a person is identified as a member of the Motor Maids, her behavior reflects on all members in the public eye. For that reason, the organization asks that all members adhere to the standards of behavior set forth in this document. A violation of this
Code of Conduct is grounds for membership board action. Note that membership board action was never meant to be a mechanism to resolve interpersonal disputes among members. It is expected that members will talk with each other to resolve interpersonal conflicts.

Preamble

Motor Maids, Inc. believes that dignity, self-esteem, and respect are inalienable rights of each individual and that there is no place for personal degradation within the membership of Motor Maids, Inc. The organization supports the promotion of self-respect of each individual, respect
for others, and does not condone any activity or behavior that is inappropriate, destructive, demeaning, or abusive to anyone including herself. Each member is expected to uphold the honor and dignity of Motor Maids, Inc. at all occasions. The following is not meant to be an
exhaustive list of appropriate Motor Maids, Inc. member behavior, rather, it is meant to clarify the vision set forth by our founders and reflects input from our members in 2021.

Conduct

A Motor Maid, while identifying herself as a member of Motor Maids, Inc. through text, photographs, insignias, or other descriptive identifiers shall adhere to the following:

Will always show respect to all with whom she interacts by word or actions. Disrespectful actions include, but are not limited to: bullying, yelling, taunting, or threatening physical violence upon another.
Will dress in a manner that reflects a positive image of the Motor Maids, Inc. Wearing clothing embellished with divisive images or language including profanity, hate speech, political advocacy, depicting or advocating violence, criminal activity, or promoting the use of alcohol or drugs is prohibited.
Will comply with all rules governing the wearing of the uniform when dressed in the Motor Maids, Inc. official uniform.
Will operate her motorcycle in a safe manner at all times and will not operate her motorcycle while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other intoxicants.
- In addition to any possible disciplinary actions, a Motor Maid can be immediately removed from any event where it is shown her unsafe operation or intoxication compromises safety.
Will adhere to Motor Maids, Inc. social media policy and will not engage in vulgar, racial, ethnic, defamatory, or derogatory comments on social media.
Will not use profanity or abusive language, engage in racial, ethnic, defamatory, or derogatory comments within the context of personal interactions.
Will never make unwanted sexual or physical contact with other Motor Maids, Inc. members or guests.

By checking here and clicking I Agree, I am confirming that I accept all of the conditions laid out in the code of conduct above.

Motor Maids, Inc.
Social Media Policy

Adopted at Executive Board Meeting January 16, 2022

Purpose
Social media has presented organizations such as ours with new and welcome communication
opportunities. However, it has, from time to time, also presented challenges. This policy
establishes Motor Maids, Inc. expectations and guidelines on the use of social media platforms
when one identifies as a Motor Maids, Inc. member through photographs, insignias, or other
descriptive identifiers. It is in no way intended to restrict normal interaction between members
but to ensure that the benefits of such platforms are realized and the negative outcomes
minimized.

Objective
To ensure that Motor Maids, Inc. members use social media platforms in a manner consistent
with our organization’s guiding principles (e.g., Constitution and Bylaws, Handbook, Code of
Conduct) and the terms of use of individual social media platforms set up and used on behalf of
Motor Maids, Inc. This policy also aims to encourage the development of an understanding of
both the benefits and constraints in using social media when identifying as a Motor Maids, Inc.
member through photographs, insignias, or other descriptive identifiers

Background

The internet provides many opportunities to communicate with other Motor Maids, Inc.
members and the general community more broadly. Social media platforms provide the
opportunity for members to promote the community of our members and the organization’s
activities. Members should be aware that the use of these platforms can also be abused and
potentially damage the reputation of Motor Maids, Inc. and in extreme cases, this type of abuse
can result in legal proceedings.

Users of social media platforms should assume that all comments made by them will be traced
back to them as individuals or to the organization in general. When using social websites,
members need to make a clear distinction between their activities as a member of Motor
Maids, Inc. and their personal activities undertaken outside of and unrelated to the
organization. This policy aims to provide guidelines to help members exercise good judgement
when posting to social media sites as well as providing guidance on behavior that is
unacceptable and must not be undertaken, when identifying as a member of Motor Maids, Inc.

Scope

This policy covers all forms of social media and applies to Motor Maids, Inc. members when
using any such media and identifying as a member of Motor Maids, Inc. It does not apply to
personal use of social media websites when the member:

Is not identifiable as a member of Motor Maids, Inc.
Makes no reference to Motor Maids, Inc. or issues relating to Motor Maids, Inc.

Definitions

Use of Social Media Platforms – any online activity where information is shared by an individual
that might affect Motor Maids, Inc. members. It includes, but is not limited to activities such
as:

Maintaining a profile page on one of the social or business networking sites (e.g.,
LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok).
Commenting on blog sites for personal or business reasons.
Leaving product or service reviews on retailer sites, or customer review sites.
Taking part in online votes and polls.
Taking part in conversations on public and private web forums such as message boards
or editing a Wikipedia page.

Usage

All current responsibilities of Motor Maids, Inc. members remain in force when using social
media websites.

Online activity:

Must not be used as a formal correspondence to Motor Maids, Inc. officers.
Must not be used as the only mechanism for communication with other members.
Must not be used to air grievances. If members wish to make a formal complaint about
any issue, they should do so in writing through the appropriate channels.

  given.
Must not bring the organization into disrepute.

product, opinion, cause or political candidate.

opinions.
All materials published or used must respect the copyright of third parties and the
Motor Maids, Inc. trademarks.

Motor Maids, Inc. members posting material to social media/networking sites shall adhere to
the following best practice guidelines:

Think twice before posting: Privacy does not exist in the world of social media.
Consider what could happen if a post becomes widely known and how that may
reflect both on the commenter and Motor Maids, Inc. Search engines can turn up
posts years after they are created, and comments can be forwarded or copied.
Strive for accuracy: Get the facts straight before posting them on social media. This
is especially important if posting on behalf of Motor Maids, Inc. in any capacity.
Secure permission: Only officers authorized to do so may speak on behalf of Motor
Maids, Inc. If you are posting material related to Motor Maids, Inc. or attempting to
reflect views of Motor Maids, Inc., always consult with the Motor Maids, Inc.
President or Publicity Officer.
Be respectful: Understand that content contributed to a social media site could
encourage comments or discussion of opposing ideas. Responses should be
considered carefully thinking of how they would reflect on the person posting the
message and Motor Maids, Inc. as an organization.
Rules: Become familiar with the terms of service and policies of sites and networks
in which you participate.

Consideration towards other Members

Social media websites allow photographs, videos, and comments to be shared with other users.
Members have a right to privacy, and therefore, their consent should be sought in relation to
the use of personal data including images. Information should be provided to the member as
to how and for what purpose images will be used. It is not appropriate to share photos or
images without prior permission by those in the photos or images. Any personal photos must
be approved by those in the photo before posting to public sites. Additionally, it is not
appropriate to share organization-related information in unauthorized social media forums
without approval from the Motor Maids, Inc. Publicity Officer.

Members must be considerate to other members, and content about a member or the
organization must be removed when requested by the member or an officer of the
organization. Under no circumstance should offensive comments be made about Motor Maids,
Inc. members online. Any member found to be (or associated with) posting negative, obscene,
false, or defamatory comments of any nature on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok or any
other social media site or on the internet in general may face disciplinary action.

Adherence to Acceptable Usage Policy

The Website Manager or another executive officer must have access to all Motor Maids, Inc.
district sites to ensure that the acceptable usage policy is adhered to:

Posts that should be deleted include but are not limited to off-topic posts, spam, spam
links, abusive posts, and expletive and hate language.
Serious misinformation posted should be corrected (and if it is defamatory, deleted).
Users are required to register on the social media site; posts cannot be added by
“anonymous” users. This can reduce spam and abusive comments, and in some cases,
means the organization could hand over details in the event of litigation.
If a member/user contests the decision of having a comment deleted or a member/user
being blocked, the Website Manager or other executive officer should not enter into a
discussion within the thread itself, but move the discussion to the appropriate medium
given the nature of the situation (e.g., email, telephone, USPS).

Procedures to Set-Up of Social Media Sites

In line with all other communications, all social media sites/pages set up on behalf of Motor
Maids, Inc. must be approved by the Website Manager. Objectives for use of the site must be
clearly outlined and set up is not permitted until full approval has been granted.

Breach of Policy

A breach of this policy may result in disciplinary action.
