NOTICE OF NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY

The National Association of Wetland Managers (NAWM) does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age, or sex in administration of its programs or activities, whether carried out by NAWM directly, through a contractor, or any other entity with whom NAWM arranges to carry out its programs, services and activities. NAWM does not intimidate or retaliate against any individual or group because they have exercised their rights to participate in actions protected, or oppose action prohibited, by 40 C.F.R.
