Members must also refrain from undertaking any activity at our events that actively promote any product or service they represent directly or indirectly and which it is clear would gain commercial advantage for the owner of the service or product should these gain direct support from Executive or Personal Assistants. Any member found to be behaving in an inappropriate manner will be asked to leave the function in question and will be barred from attending any future events for a period to be determined at the discretion of EAN based on the severity of the indiscretion.
