Code of Ethics for Members of TMMi America

Introduction:

Members of TMMi America are committed to high standards of honesty, integrity and impartiality in both business and personal dealings. Our personal and business reputations are our most valuable assets, and they depend on our conduct and concern for the people, whom we serve. It is important that we avoid situations that may lead to or give the appearance of a conflict between self-interest and our responsibility to promote the best interests of TMMi America.

It is the intent of TMMi America that Members shall satisfy an individual’s desire to assist TMMi America’s mission and efforts while furthering an opportunity for volunteer service in an environment of high ethical standards. Thus, all programs, activities, committee work and meetings conducted, presented or performed by the Members shall be accomplished in a highly ethical manner, focusing on a standard of excellence, which will reflect credit to TMMi America.

Members must exhibit a sense of responsibility to TMMi America, which should not be compromised or breached by self-interest, regardless of the conditions or attitudes of fellow Members.

This code was developed to provide guidelines for the Members. It cannot address every situation, which might arise. It is, however, our responsibility to be familiar with, and to abide by, both the letter and spirit of this Code. In all situations, including those where policy or guidelines are not specific, adherence to commonly accepted standards of conduct should be maintained. If you are unsure of the appropriate course of action, discuss it with the Board of Directors.

General Guidelines:

Integrity and confidence are the foundation of any professional group. Members should avoid conduct that may result in a conflict or the appearance of conflict between the interests of TMMi America or its Members and the Member’s self-interest.

A Member must not engage in conduct or commit any act that could bring public embarrassment or discredit to the reputation, public image, or integrity of the TMMi America organization.
