Our expectations
KOCH’s success depends on good cooperation between its members. This is why the organization expects each member to adhere not only to its mission, but also to its values and principles.
KOCH values respect, team spirit, civic participation or volunteering, and trust. It expects its members to be able and willing to fulfill their roles. For this reason, the Organization will not tolerate:

- a member arriving at meetings (ordinary or extraordinary) under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- a member charges or accepts money or any other type of compensation for a service rendered on behalf of KOCH.
- a member uses KOCH funds or materials for personal purposes. KOCH funds and equipment belong to the Chardonnières community, and no one may take advantage of them.
- disclosure by a member of information or data considered confidential by the organization.
- negligence on the part of a member in the performance of his or her duties within the organization.
