While you can approach any New Columbia Swing owner, board member, instructor, or staff member with concerns about Code of Conduct violations or general thoughts about what would promote a welcoming environment, we feel that it is vital to have a select group of independent staff members who would oversee the process of addressing specific Code of Conduct violations.
