In order to promote collaboration and an open exchange of information to be enjoyed by all members, Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship maintains a policy of non-solicitation. This means Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship members, guests, and teaching fellows are not to be solicited for business from other Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship members, guests, and teaching fellows.  No one is to introduce themselves for the sole purpose of selling their products or services. Participants may not contact other members online for the sole purpose of selling their products or services.  Members may not share member contact information with non-members. However, it is permissible for a member to discuss his/her services or provide additional information to a prospective client in response to an inquiry requesting such information.
