Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ)
We are dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice within our organization and the communities we serve. This policy ensures equal opportunities for all individuals, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, age, or ability. We actively seek to create a welcoming environment that encourages participation and representation from underrepresented groups in our conservation efforts.
Media Relations

We aim to communicate transparently and effectively, ensuring that our messaging reflects our values and mission. All communications must be approved by the chapter President to maintain consistency and uphold our organization’s reputation. The President is the sole designated spokesperson for the organization.
Procurement
The procurement policy establishes transparent and fair processes for acquiring goods and services. We prioritize local vendors and sustainable practices whenever possible to support the community and minimize environmental impact. This policy outlines guidelines for fair bidding, supplier selection, and contract management to ensure accountability and ethical decision-making.
Intellectual Property
Our intellectual property policy protects the creative and innovative contributions of our members. This policy aims to encourage creativity while respecting the rights of authors and creators.
Conflict of Interest
We are committed to maintaining integrity and transparency in all our operations. Our conflict of interest policy requires members and leadership to disclose any personal interests that may conflict with the organization's interests. This ensures that all decisions are made objectively and in the best interest of the Donegal Chapter of Trout Unlimited and its mission.
