  3. Giving your badge to another person for purposes of admission to any Annual Meeting function is not permitted.

  4. Promotion by members or nonmembers of any goods and services, except member exhibitors under provisions of a signed Exhibitors Agreement and, other than with the expressed written permission of the Executive Committee, is not permitted.

  9. Any individual removing merchandise from the MDRT Power Center without first paying for the merchandise will be asked to surrender their badge, thereby preventing them from attending the remainder of the meeting. The individual and incident will also be reported to the MDRT Ethics Committee for further action, possibly resulting in revocation of membership.

Members shall accept and conform to the Code of Ethics and to those rules of conduct which the Executive Committee may determine and publish for the conduct of those attending any such meeting. Adherence to these rules shall be required of members at all such meetings, including all functions, both formal and informal, during and in connection with official MDRT meetings.
