  • 1.  Preferred Name/Pronouns

    Posted 06-12-2023 02:15 PM
    Good afternoon,
     
    I wondered if anyone had any best practices or policies around how they are using preferred name or pronouns in communications.
     
    Thank you for any help you can provide,
    Kathy

    We allow our constituents to select their own pronouns (free text field) and we print them on name tags at events. You don't need pronouns for communications. Unless you're writing about someone in a newsletter? Then you could just refer to them by their last name, which is AP style anyway.
