What every member agrees to.
Members agree to these rules on admission and at each renewal. The full Code of Conduct is adopted by the Board; this page summarizes its core commitments.
Confidentiality
What is said in a peer forum or the private discussion channel stays there. You may use what you learn, but you may not attribute it to a person or company, or share it outside the Society, without consent.
No solicitation
Members don't use the directory, forums or events to sell products or services, recruit other members' staff or raise investment, unless another member asks.
Honesty
Members give accurate information in applications and nominations, and describe their membership, designation and any Society roles accurately to others, including how they were selected.
Enforcement
The Ethics Committee hears complaints. A member receives written notice and has 21 days to respond and may ask to be heard. Sanctions range from a warning to suspension, withdrawal of a Fellow designation or expulsion, and can be appealed to the Board. Admission or a designation obtained through false information is void.
