One of AHS's top priorities is to safeguard a healthy environment for its community. AHS is committed to the values of civility, equity, respect, non-discrimination and an appreciation of diversity.

It is the duty of all members to uphold this policy. This is a serious matter and will be handled with strict zero-tolerance. Once a member has been proven guilty and banned, all ties with that individual are severed, and the club holds no further responsibility regarding their actions.
