Statement on Professional Behaviour
 
The Association of Lighting Designers (ALD) supports the recent conversations that shine a light on abuse, harassment and bullying in our industry, that of the creation and support of live performance lighting.
We seek to be involved in changing this aspect of the industry for the better, and to support our members to the best of our ability.
