The Member Code of Ethics has been developed to serve as a foundation for the Community Council of St. Charles County.

The Community Council retains the right to bar from membership any individual or organization who violates this Code.

The focus is on universal values that inspire ethical behavior and performance. Desired behavior is clearly illustrated by

providing language, experience and examples to help the individual and member organization better achieve important

ethical and principled business objectives.

The mission of the Board of Ethics and Professional Standards is to focus primarily on education and training, on collaboration

and to serve in an advisory role to the Board on ethical matters of major importance. The foundation of our value to our member organizations and those they serve is the ability to rely on our ethical and morally acceptable behavior. Please review this new Member Code of Ethics in this context.

Its Values are designed to inspire and motivate each of us every day to the highest levels of ethical practice.
Its Code Provisions are designed to help each of us clearly understand the limits and specific performance required to be an ethical Community Council member.
Its Commitment mechanism is designed to ensure that every member organization understands fully the obligations of membership and the expectation of ethical behavior that are an integral part of membership in the Community Council of St. Charles County.
Our new Code elevates our ethics, our values and our commitment to the level they belong.

Respectfully,
Community Council Board of Directors
