Policies

AUA2025 – AUA Policies

AUA Commitment

AUA is committed to providing a safe and productive meeting environment that fosters open dialogue and the exchange of scientific ideas and is free of harassment and discrimination. All meeting participants are expected to behave professionally and treat others with respect, follow venue rules, and alert AUA staff or security of any dangerous situations or anyone in distress.

Reporting Harassment

It is the policy of the AUA that all meeting participants will enjoy an environment free from discrimination, harassment or retaliation. Harassing behavior by meeting participants will not be tolerated. If an individual experiences or witnesses harassment, the individual should contact Janet Skorepa, AUA EVP, at jskorepa@AUAnet.org or Maureen E. Cones, Esq., AUA General Counsel, at mcones@AUAnet.org or use a venue phone and ask for security if the individual feels unsafe. All complaints will be treated seriously and responded to promptly.

The AUA reserves the right to take any action deemed necessary and appropriate, including refusing or revoking the registration of any individual, without refund, as long as such refusal is consistent with applicable law and AUA policy.
