DISCUSSION LEADER: Lee Feldman, Chair, Committee on Professional Conduct

 

 

Today (Tuesday, May 14) at 2:00 p.m., EDT, Lee Feldman, chair of the Committee on Professional Conduct, invites you to join a  free 60-minute web chat to get your input on what political neutrality, Tenet 7 of the ICMA Code of Ethics, means today. What types of political activity are okay?  Where should the profession draw the line? 

The discussion is part of a process of getting member feedback on the Code. Ensuring that the ICMA Code of Ethics is relevant to the profession is a key responsibility of the ICMA Executive Board and the Committee on Professional Conduct.  To that end, ICMA is launching a structured review of the Code.  Taking one tenet per year, the review will be ongoing over a period of years. The process begins with a review of Tenet 7.

Provide your feedback during this live online discussion and weigh in on whether the tenet and guidelines are relevant today.  

Feldman will introduce the topic and then open the lines for discussion – no holds barred, ask anything you want, and provide feedback about the Code.
