Know The Code

Did you know…SFL has a formal Code of Conduct policy that all program participants agree to when we submit our event applications? I know from personal experience that it is easy to overlook this and the other policies we agree to in the excitement of applying for the upcoming event. That is why I'd like to take this opportunity to highlight these important documents. After all, it is the code that supports the safety and camaraderie that we all cherish so much at Ski for Light!

Codes of Conduct are found in many organizations and are considered to be a best practice. Several years ago, a formal Code of Conduct policy was written and adopted by the SFL board with the goal of defining the expectations that we all share for a positive, respectful and safe experience when we participate in any SFL event. The current code was adopted in 2022 and includes a provision to review and refresh the policy every three years. This means the policy is due for review and possible revision this year. As Vice President, I am currently responsible for overseeing the administration of the Code of Conduct. If you have any suggestions for improvement, please send them to me at r.sheri@icloud.com. Of course, no one can suggest improvements without first reading the code, so here's the link: www.sfl.org/board/policy/conduct.docx

I encourage all of you to read the Code of Conduct, along with the other policies relating to communicable diseases and the general waiver, before you complete and submit your application. These policies are easily found as links on the event page and near the end of each application.

Now let's all have the most fun, safest, and most respectful 2026 SFL event at Snow
