Member Advisory Committee on Ethics

Scope of the Committee
The Committee is responsible for:

• Reviewing the Union’s existing internal rules and policies on ethical practices and financial
matters – including the Ethical Practices Codes, Administrative Letters, and other guidance
– and how those rules and policies are understood by the Union’s Officers and employees.

• Drawing upon Committee members’ individual experience and expertise to develop any
recommendations to the IEB for improving existing ethics guidelines, practices (both
financial and ethical), policies, enforcement standards, and education of these standards.

• Reviewing the operation and function of the Ethics Officer positions to determine whether
adjustments might improve their effectiveness and/or promote transparency.

• The Committee will provide a mechanism for two-way communication and dialogue
between the Committee union members and the Ethics Officer to enhance understanding,
acceptance, and operations of the Ethics Program. The Committee will have the ability to
make recommendations about the operation of the Ethics Program to the Ethics Officer,
who will give full consideration to those recommendations but will not be bound to accept them.
