Usage and Propriety

MAGFest business cards are only to be used and distributed when representing MAGFest as an organization. Owning and distributing MAGFest business cards comes with the responsibility of properly representing the organization, your division/department, and yourself as an entity of MAGFest.

You should feel free to hand out your MAGFest business card when interacting with someone that you’d like to exchange contact information with, pertaining to MAGFest. This could include an Arcade Head making new contact with an arcade owner, or a member of the Music Booking Department establishing a relationship with a potential performer. If you are in a leadership position at MAGFest, that means we ultimately trust your discretion to represent MAGFest properly and to hand out your business cards appropriately. Improper usage of MAGFest business cards may may result in your business card privileges being revoked, and may also impact your staffing privileges depending on severity.

Improper usage of business cards may include, but is not limited to:

• Over-representing yourself with regards to MAGFest.
  • For example, it would be inappropriate for a volunteer to express or imply that they were hired by MAGFest for their position.
• Promising functions or support from MAGFest before discussing internally with the appropriate parties.
  • Meaning, don’t get over-excited and make a bunch of promises that might not happen.
• Using business cards for personal promotion or gain.
  • So, don’t hand out your MAGFest business card if the discussion is not regarding MAGFest.
• Behaving in a manner that violates our core values while representing MAGFest.
  • We trust that anyone willing to represent MAGFest also aligns with and adheres to our Core Values.
• Being a shitty person.
  • MAGFest will not tolerate hateful acts and speech towards others. If you are to represent MAGFest in a professional capacity, we expect you to be a good person! See Core Values, above.
