Mission Statement
In recognizing the importance of public confidence and trust in government, as well as the ethical challenges faced by government officials, the IAC Ethics Advisory Committee will work to implement educational opportunities for Elected Officials at all IAC sponsored meetings and conferences. By providing discussion points and/or short ‘Ethics Exercises’ aimed at addressing typical ethical traps and current trends in ethical violations, the Ethics Committee will carry out on-going education for IAC members. The Ethics Committee will work to provide written materials to IAC members in order to facilitate possible policy changes that pertain to areas of ethical conduct.
