New Columbia Swing Safety Committee

The safety of our community members is something that New Columbia Swing takes extremely seriously. 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 oversee the process of addressing specific Code of Conduct violations, following these guidelines

Our Safety Committee currently consists of: Heather J., Frankie F., Isabelle M., and Daniel B.
