FOR BUSINESS PARTNERS AND SPONSORS
The CAI-MN Board of Directors appreciates and recognizes the importance of certain qualities in a service provider in our industry. The Board would like to continue to uphold the image and a standard maintained by CAI-MN’s members and affiliated parties, and wishes to give its members a greater sense of the stewardship with which CAI-MN Business Partners approach their affiliation with Minnesota community associations. Accordingly, CAI-MN encourages Business Partners and Sponsors associated with the Chapter to maintain a certain standard of business practices when dealing with other members of the Chapter, and the community at large. By joining this chapter as a Business Partner, or becoming a Sponsor, you and your company represent to CAI-MN, its membership, and the public at large, that you will:
- Treat those with whom you deal in a professional and competent manner, acting truthfully, fairly, diligently, promptly, and for a fair price;
- Refrain from untrue or misleading statements about competitors;
- Not engage in price fixing, anti-trust, or anti-competitive behavior, including providing valuable consideration of any kind to obtain business or favorable position against another Business Partner; and
- Disclose to customers or clients, actual or prospective, all actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest.
Note: Participation in these standards is voluntary, as is membership and partnership with CAI-MN. Neither CAI-MN nor its Board of Directors enforces these standards.
CAI-MN SUITCASING POLICY
CAI-MN has a no-tolerance policy regarding “suitcasing,” which describes the practice by non-sponsoring companies or individuals of soliciting sales or sales leads and/or representing their services and wearing company logo wear at CAI-MN events. Violators of this policy will be removed from the event.
