What are some examples of Division 17 activities that have risk management implications?
The range of activities is truly great and extensive. Public statements by officers or representatives of the Division, policy stands, workshops or conferences we conduct, endorsement or sponsorship of events, what we publish in official outlets including our website, discussion listservs, and even the newsletters of SIGs may have legal consequences and are governed by Association Rules, which in part are designed to minimize adverse legal consequences. Thus, we encourage our Sections, STGs, SIGs, SAS, and other affiliated groups to take special care in monitoring their publication outlets responsibly and act in accordance with risk management guidelines and Association Rules.
