One of the most important intiatives that PRSA has undertaken in recent
times is the revision of its Code of Ethics. To help make the new code a
"living standard" among all PR professionals, the PRSA Board of Ethics and
Professional Standards (BEPS) has asked that we appoint a chapter ethics
officer. The term of service for this volunteer position is two years and
would include the following duties:
-- conduct a Code of Ethics orientation for each new member
-- manage the annual Code of Ethics professional development program (a
local monthly meeting)
-- oversee Ethics Month activities
-- identify College of Fellows members and other ethcis professionals to
provide input for professional development programs
-- establish an optional locally based ethics advisory board
If any member is interested in the ethics officer position or serving on an
ethics committee, please email or call me at 865/584-0550.
Have a great weekend,
Dan
