Dear IALCP Section Members;
Greetings,
I have been noticing some of the recent exchanges of information on the IARP Connect. As a member of the IARP/IACLP Section, I encourage each of us to reacquaint ourselves with the IARP Code of Conduct Connect Rules and Etiquette guidelines below. This is also included on the IARP website.
As an IALCP Section member, it is imperative that we remain professional in our communications with each other. This will show our unity and mutual respect in our efforts to advance the practice of Life Care Planning. Also, this will only strengthen our standing and respect within the legal, insurance, and medical communities.
With all of us working together, remaining respectful of each discipline and providing information or material that will benefit everyone, we can continue to be recognized as a professional organization and section of choice.
Please feel free to contact me or any of the Board of Directors by e-mail or telephone. Our contact information is online at http://www.rehabpro.org/sections/ialcp/LCP_Board.
Sincerely;
Steven A. Yuhas, M.Ed., CRC, CLCP, CCM, NCC, CBIS

IARP Connect Rules & Etiquette
Thanks for being part of the IARP Connect community. To ensure the best possible experience for all IARP members, we have established some basic guidelines for participation.
By joining and using these discussion areas, you agree that you have read and will follow the rules and guidelines set for these peer discussion groups. You also agree to reserve list discussions for topics best suited to the medium. This is a great medium with which to solicit the advice of your peers, benefit from their experience, and participate in an ongoing conversation. Questions about IARP should be directed to our Member Services department. Technical questions on association management issues should directed to our helpdesk.
Please take a moment to acquaint yourself with these important guidelines. If you have questions, contact the member services department. In order to preserve a climate that encourages both civil and fruitful dialogue, IARP reserves the right to suspend or terminate membership on all lists for members who violate these rules.
The Rules
Don't challenge or attack others. The discussions on the lists are meant to stimulate conversation not to create contention. Let others have their say, just as you may.
Don't post commercial messages on any IARP Connect eGroup.
Contact people directly with product and service information if you believe it would help them. Use caution when discussing products.
Information posted on the lists is available for all to see, and comments are subject to libel, slander, and antitrust laws.
All defamatory, abusive, profane, threatening, offensive, orillegal materials are strictly prohibited. Do not post anything in a eGroup message that you would not want the world to see or that you would not want anyone to know came from you.
Please note carefully all items listed in the disclaimer andlegal rules below, particularly regarding the copyright ownership of information posted to the list.
Remember that IARP has the right to reproduce postings to this eGroup.
Send your message only to the most appropriate list(s). Do not spam several lists with the same message. All messages must add to the body of knowledge. IARP reserves the right to reject any message for any reason.
e-Group Etiquette
Include a signature tag on all messages. Include your name,affiliation, location.
State concisely and clearly the topic of your comments in the subject line. This allows members to respond more appropriately to your posting and makes it easier for members to search the archives by subject.
Include only the relevant portions of the original message in your reply. Delete any header information, and put your response before the original posting.
Only send a message to the entire list when it contains information that everyone can benefit from.
Send messages such as "thanks for the information" or "me, too" to individuals--not to the entire list. Do this by using the "Reply to Sender" link to the left of every message.
Do not send administrative messages, such as remove me from
the list, through the eGroup. Instead, use the Web interface to change your settings or to remove yourself from a list. If you are changing e-mail addresses, you do not need to remove yourself from the list and rejoin under your new e-mail address. Simply change your settings.
Warn other list subscribers of lengthy messages either in
the subject line or at the beginning of the message body with a line that says "Long Message".
