  • 1.  INFORMS Anonymous Hotline

    Posted 10-14-2019 17:08

    Effective October 18, 2019 we will have an anonymous conduct and ethics hotline! The hotline will ensure anyone wishing to submit a report anonymously or otherwise can do so. Additionally, we have made arrangements to have a third-party, Operations, Inc, conduct any investigations required.

    Here are links to our Code of Conduct and Ethics Guidelines.

    The Hotline will be run by Lighthouse Services. Reports may cover but are not limited to the following topics: 

    • Bullying
    • Ethical violations                                        
    • Discrimination
    • Harassment
    • Sexual Harassment                                                                         
    • Threat of Violence                                                              
    • Other improper conduct                             

     Our Hotline toll free number and other methods of reporting are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
