Ethics

Our Ethics Committee and code of ethics assist the ACN Board of Directors to maintain ethical conduct by editors at the highest professional level, to educate ACN members concerning ethical standards, to endeavor to protect the public against harmful conduct by editors, and to aid the Association in achieving its objectives as reflected in its Constitution.

 

For a description of the ACN Ethics Committee, it’s operating rules, and how it handles complaints alleging violations of the Ethics Code, reference the ACN Ethics Procedures, approved by the ACN Board of Directors in April 2015.
