MNP Self Employment Alumni Community Guidelines

We welcome your participation as a means of sharing your own experiences, suggesting business or networking ideas, and contributing to the conversation. To keep our community conversation focused on LinkedIn, we have set some guidelines:

  1. This Community is moderated and all comments are reviewed by MNP advisors on an ongoing basis.
  2. Only those who have attended the MNP Self Employment Program from 1992 until present day can be members of this community group.
  3. To ensure exchanges are productive, informative, respectful of diverse viewpoints and lawful, we will review all comments and we will NOT allow comments that are or include:

Off Topic. We will exclude comments not related to the subject of starting and running a small business. If you have an idea for an alternative subject, would like to provide feedback, or would like follow-up, please email: calgaryselfemployment@mnp.ca

Spam. Comments focused on selling a product or service, or comments posted strictly for the purpose of driving traffic to a particular website for personal, political, or monetary gain, will be excluded.

Personal Attacks. If you disagree with what’s being said, we'd like to hear from you, but we ask that you are respectful of others and refrain from personal attacks. Malicious intent and/or participation not in the spirit of civil conversation will be excluded.

Illegal. Laws that govern use of copyrights, trade secrets, etc., will be followed.

Offensive Language. Comments including but not limited to, profane or provocative language will be excluded (which means that hateful, racially or ethnically offensive or derogatory content, threats, obscene or sexually explicit language will not be tolerated).

Private or Confidential Information. No private or confidential information shall be made public or discussed.

Please note that we cannot accept comments from individuals under the age of 18.

MNP reserves the right to change these guidelines at any time at its sole discretion. The most current guidelines will be updated as they change.

MNP does not endorse any comments made by its employees, unless they are an authorized representative of the company. If a MNP employee leaves the company, they will be removed from the LinkedIn group as of their last day of employment.

All statements and viewpoints expressed in the comments are strictly those of the commenter alone, and do not constitute an official position of MNP unless they are posted by the original author (who is an authorized representative of the Firm) or by a subject matter expert responding on behalf of that authorized representative.

This communication has been prepared for informational purposes only and is not intended for any other purpose. We do not assume any responsibility or liability for losses occasioned by you in reliance on this information. We would be pleased to discuss with you the issues raised within the context of your particular circumstances.
