A RESOLUTION OF THE CHELAN DOUGLAS REGIONAL PORT AUTHORITY CONCERNING A PLEDGE TO CIVILITY IN PUBLIC SERVICE
We, as elected and appointed public officials of the Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority, in order to promote democracy and strong communities in our region, pledge our commitment to the following principles for civility:
Respect the right of our constituents to hold different opinions;
Strive to understand differing perspectives and treat all individuals with dignity and respect;
Speak truthfully without accusation, and avoid distortion;
Speak out in support of non-violence, inclusion and civil discourse;
Choose words thoughtfully; and
Avoid rhetoric intended to humiliate, de-legitimatize or question the patriotism of those whose opinions are different from ours.
We further pledge to exhibit and encourage the kind of personal qualities that are emblematic of a civil society: gratitude, humility, openness, propriety, kindness, faith, a sense of duty and service to others, and a commitment to doing what we believe is in the best long-term interest of our communities.
Adopted by the Board of Directors of the Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority at a regular meeting thereof held this 9th day of February, 2021.
