We love connecting with our community, but we’ve got a few house rules to keep things runn

ing smoothly. Break them, and you’ll get two friendly warnings—but after the third, you might find yourself in Facebook timeout.

1. Keep it on topic: Please don’t tag us in non-CPD events or news as it disrupts and clogs our notifications/feed.
2. Don’t hog the feed: Please limit super long or excessive comments that clog things up in addition to unnecessary tagging.
3. Keep it classy: No accusations or spreading false info. No threats: Let’s keep the peace—no threats of violence against anyone.
6. Spam: Just no. Thanks for helping us keep this page focused on what matters most: our community!
