CoastCon stands against harassment.

CoastCon, our staff, and our governing committee have taken a strong stand on the issue of harassment at our annual convention or any event we host.

As stated in CoastCon’s Rules: “CoastCon is dedicated to providing a harassment-free event experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, or affiliation. We do not tolerate harassment of convention participants in any form. Convention participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled per the CoastCon By-Laws.”

If you are at a CoastCon event, and you are made to feel uncomfortable in any way – whether it’s a person touching you without your consent, or harassment from a person or group – we ask that you report your issue to us immediately so we can take action.

You can report any issues or concerns to the registration desk or security booth. If you are not sure where registration or security is, a CoastCon security volunteer (designated by their red shirts) can help point you in the right direction, or they can contact a senior staff or Governing Committee member to address your issue.

For more information on CoastCon’s Rules and By-Laws, check out our website: CoastCon Convention Rules – http://www.coastcon.org/coastcon-rules/ CoastCon, Inc. By-Laws - http://www.coastcon.org/sample-page/

We want all CoastCon 39 attendees to feel safe and to have a good time! If you have any questions, you may message us via Facebook, or contact the following emails:

Frank Schiavo – CoastCon Inc. Chairman [email protected] Pauline Grigsby – CoastCon Inc. Vice-Chairman and Convention Director [email protected] Karen Lewis – CoastCon Inc. Member-At-Large and Social Media Manager [email protected]
