[Community-Discuss] Incident between myself and Prof. Quaynor

[Evelyn Namara]

Dear all,

For some of us, we joined this community to seek inspiration from people we
admire and look up to in this community.

As the next generation, we are here to learn and get inspired to take up
the mantle and hopefully one day also help this community advance to the
next level.
It is from this angle that I say, it was quite unfortunate to learn about
that particular incident. We need to shine a positive light as members of
influence in order to positively influence the next generation of leaders.

There needs to be a code of ethics or conduct that anyone in a leadership
position needs to uphold.

Let's be conscious and know that we are watched and will be ultimately
judged by our actions.

Kind Regards,

Evelyn.
