You’ve arrived, and we are so elated to welcome you!

 

ProfessionELLE House is an exclusive private members-only club designed for women in business, entrepreneurship, and creative industries. Our Code of Conduct sets forth standards to ensure the respectful and enjoyable use of ProfessionELLE House by our members and their guests.

​

Built upon collaboration, female empowerment, and community cultivation, we strive to create an environment where every member will make a significant impact in their businesses, and beyond.

​

To maintain our standards and uphold a supportive environment 

where all members feel respected and secure, 

we strongly encourage you to review our 

 

House Rules with care and acknowledgment, as they are crucial to your membership experience.

Privacy and Confidentiality For Members/Guests

ProfessionELLE House management and all staff members are required to adhere to the strictest confidentiality standards and pledge to maintain all records, discussions, and personal information concerning the members and their guests in the strictest confidence.

Respect the privacy of fellow members and their business activities. 

Our exclusive community offers a private space where members can freely share ideas and collaborate, therefore sharing the personal or professional information of a member without explicit consent is strictly prohibited. Maintaining confidentiality fosters trust and a safe environment for all members to enjoy. Any individual(s) in violation of these policies, will be held accountable in accordance with the law.  Additionally, members and their guests must not approach, disturb or solicit others with whom they are not personally acquainted. 

 

Respect and Courtesy For All

We expect all members, guests, and staff to be treated with respect and courtesy. 

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards offensive, discriminatory, or abusive language and behaviour in order to uphold a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive atmosphere for all. Members found engaging in such behaviour will be promptly escorted from the premises and will automatically forfeit their membership, including any fees paid up to that point. Noise Levels At the House, we encourage in-person interactions in our common areas while maintaining a low to mid-range noise level to ensure a conducive working environment for all members. The atmosphere will be vibey, fostering a lively yet respectful ambiance. Private rooms are available for reservation for audio and video interactions. When not in a reserved area, please ensure that phones are on silent mode. All other audio must be played exclusively through headphones to maintain a comfortable environment for everyone. If a designated area is unavailable for use, please step outside of the House to conduct any conversations via audio or video. Your cooperation helps us create a balanced and productive atmosphere for all members and guests.
