Board of Trustees - Code of Ethics |
 |
 |
 |
 |
I realize that to be the most effective advocate for children we, as a board, must function as a team. To this end, I pledge to do my best to adhere to the principles listed below. Should I for whatever reason, fail to follow these guidelines I ask my fellow board members to call to it my attention. When that happens I pledge to accept the feedback without anger or finger pointing and to renew my efforts to follow this Code.
-
I will come to meetings prepared.
-
I will attend all meetings and arrive on time, except in extreme emergency.
-
I will accord others the respect I wish for myself.
-
I will encourage the expression of different opinions and listen with open minds.
-
Prior to making any decision, every board member will have an opportunity to share their views.
-
I will not engage in a side conversation or any other distracting activity while another is speaking.
-
I will hold discussion about any breach of ethics in executive session.
-
I will not participate in the election for or against another board member.
-
I will always be candid and truthful with fellow board members.
-
I will respect the majority decision as the decision of the Board.
