How to Report Unacceptable Behavior
Any person who has been the victim of an assault or other criminal behavior, or who believes their physical safety is at risk, should immediately call 911 or contact the event venue’s security.
Any person who has been subjected to, or personally witnessed to abusive, harassing, threatening, or similar behavior by anyone in connection with PRIMA activities or communications, should report to a PRIMA staff person onsite, or, after an event has concluded, via email to meetings@primacentral.org. If unacceptable behavior at a PRIMA event is reported during the event, PRIMA may take preliminary action, including directing an attendee to leave the event, pending a full investigation and resolution of the complaint.
