Board Member List ExpandAny member wishing to circulate a petition for signature in order to qualify as a candidate, and any candidate wishing to circulate information urging his election, may obtain the Board member mail list on request to SCI Headquarters. Under no circumstances may such list be used at any time for other purposes, including business purposes. Evidence that such misuse has occurred is grounds for referral of the matter to the Committee on Ethics and Code of Conduct.
