Application of Dress Code Policy

Unless otherwise noted, Business Attire is the prevailing dress code in effect throughout the Club. The House Committee and Board of Directors reserve the right to amend the dress code requirement for specific rooms or events at anytime.
 


Dress Code Policy

The House Committee and Board of Directors recognize the Club dress code policy is an important reflection of its values and traditions. The policy cannot contemplate every possibility and Members are encouraged to operate within the spirit of the descriptions of appropriate attire. Members are asked to discuss any questions and raise any concerns with the General Manager, House Committee or Board of Directors.

It is the responsibility of the Member to ensure that his or her guests comply with the Club’s dress code in effect for the room or event they are attending. In the event that a Member or guest is inappropriately attired, the Board has instructed the staff to speak to the Member (not to the guest) with the details of the infraction. Guests who are in noncompliance with the dress code will NOT be permitted access to the Club.
