The Community is intended to serve as a forum for RAPS members to participate in in-depth discussions and receive feedback and resources from other professional peers on matters related to or arising out of the regulatory affairs profession. To ensure the best possible experience for all RAPS members, RAPS has established the following Regulatory Exchange Community Code of Conduct and Rules (collectively, the "Rules") for participation in the RAPS Community.
