Hmmm if you work for a NFP, does not all policy changes have to be approved by the Board of Directors? I know my NFP, any policy change has to be approved by the Board and if it does become approved, must notify staff in writing within 30 days. If it states that men will be required to pants. Will someone on the BOD say something to the rest about you? I assume that they know who you are? andWhat you wear? As for pants, will the new policy say what type of pants? Jeans, dress casual, or dress pants?

I would love to wear a kilt to work as much as i want. I dress according to what my day is like. I work with Seniors (60 plus) most of them are much older 80's and 90's, even had one who was 101. I would dress very conservative with maybe a bright tie. If I go into a home that is very dirty, with insects crawling around,and varments..a less dressy look and no cuffs on the pants, and heavy shoes.

I find with this population you tend to get more information, and cooperation, because they understand that your a professional. I sometimes do joint home visit with a nurse, and she still wears a nurse hat. Her patients are more cooperative and have had less rehopitalizations, because they tend to listen to what " A nurse" says, if she looks like a nurse.

With your clients i think It might be an entry to a conversation, because maybe they will maybe ask what you are wearing.


Good Luck,....
