Member Protection, Policies, and Procedures
Matrix Performing Arts (“MPA” or “Matrix”) has adopted the WGI Code of Conduct for Participating Groups and requires that all members, staff, and volunteers accept and act under the policies and procedures outlined within said Code of Conduct. Matrix reserves the right to act through appropriate measures to ensure the safety and well-being of the group regarding this Code of Conduct. The WGI Code of Conduct may be found here: Code of Conduct
In addition, the WGI Participant Protection Reporting Policy, also adopted by MPA, sets forth WGI’s expectation that all individuals associated with WGI-sanctioned events shall report certain kinds of misconduct without exception. Anyone who receives information of any kind (oral or written, “informal” or “formal”) suggesting that misconduct related to member safety has occurred must report the matter immediately to Matrix and may do so confidentially and/or anonymously using the misconduct reporting form below. The WGI Participant Protection Reporting Policy may be found here: WGI Participant Protection Reporting Policy
All Matrix instructional and managerial staff having regular contact with or authority over the members undergo background checks and complete the SafeSport training in accordance with WGI participant protection policies.
All reports will be securely and confidentially submitted to three members of the MPA board of directors, none of whom are involved in the daily operations of Matrix. This guarantees that each report will be managed by a suitable and impartial party. You may also reach out directly to any member of the MPA Board of Directors at any time.
Misconduct Reporting Form:
To report any misconduct of the Code of Conduct confidentially and/or anonymously, please use the following form.
All reports are taken very seriously and are investigated thoroughly. The information you provide will be kept confidential and will in no way result in any form of retaliation. While we understand and respect anonymity, we encourage you to confidentially submit contact information so we may thoroughly investigate any claims and pursue additional information as needed.
All reports will be handled confidentially. It is especially helpful during an investigation to have a contact person with whom we may ask questions, substantiate claims, and/or collect evidence. Therefore, we encourage you to include contact information which will be kept confidential. We do understand the importance of anonymity, so you also have the option to submit the report anonymously. If submitting anonymously the report will remain anonymous. You may choose to include your contact information at any time; however you will be forfeiting anonymity.
You can also email a report to any of the following board members:
