While performing their duties — contractors, Board, and staff:

A. Shall not do so under the influence of alcohol, recreational drugs, mind-altering substances or other intoxicants (including medicinal marijuana); B. Shall behave in a courteous manner to fellow staff and members of the public; and C. Shall observe all rules, regulations, and policies of SF Pride.

3. Sanctions

If any staff, contractors, Board members, or other designated representatives fail to abide by this policy, they shall be subject to immediate removal from the event depending on the severity of impact to the health, wellness and/or vitality of any part of the organization and/or the event.
