Guideline 1 • NATWA will not accept any form of direct or indirect financial aid from the Taiwanese government.
Guideline #2 • Any member who represents NATWA and participates in events sponsored by the Taiwanese government should first seek the approval of the executive board.
Guideline #3 • While in office, all NATWA board of directors should not endorse and/or co-sponsor any statements or activities without the approval of the executive board.
Foot notes • . These policies should apply not only to the Taiwanese government, but also to any “foreign non-US government.” • 2. The committee realizes the challenges of enforcing the above policies and urges NATWA to initiate a program to educate our members/officers about the policies. A penalty should apply to members who violate these policies. • 3. The Board then voted to continue the study of how to enforce the above guidelines. Darice suggested that we continued our discussion at the next mid-year convention.
