What do we hope to achieve with a revised Code and ethics program?

We expect that a revised Code and ethics program will have these benefits:

• Demonstrate and reflect commitment to and expectation of ethical behavior and decision making in the Academy
• Help officers, volunteers, members, and non members responsibly face and overcome ethical dilemmas they may encounter while participating in Academy activities
• Provide a fair and transparent framework for resolving ethical issues
• Develop a common understanding and sense of community around an articulated set of norms and professional standards.
