BurnT Conduct Committee

Mission Statement

The BurnT Conduct Committee exists to provide a compassionate investigation process into conduct concerns raised by community members (including members of the BurnT Board).

The Conduct Committee is to provide a more impartial and meaningful process to recommend exclusion or conditional participation of people at official BurnT events.

Conduct Committee only recommends actions to the BurnT Board, it remains the responsibility of the BurnT Board to enact those recommendations as they see fit.

While some mediation is likely to occur during investigations, it is not the primary goal of the Conduct Committee and participants are encouraged to seek help from friends, loved ones and mentors to help resolve personal issues they may have.
