What does the Code of Ethics address for commission members?

The Code of Ethics for commission members is primarily focused on establishing clear standards regarding permissible and prohibited activities. This code serves to uphold the integrity of the profession and ensure that members adhere to ethical practices in their roles. By delineating what is acceptable behavior and what constitutes a conflict of interest or unethical conduct, the Code of Ethics helps maintain public trust in the profession and safeguards the interests of both the members and those they serve.

On the other hand, guidelines for financial management, meeting frequency, and member recruitment processes might be important for the overall functioning of a commission, but they do not play a direct role in defining the ethical obligations and standards that members must follow. These aspects are typically covered in administrative policies or procedural manuals rather than in the Code of Ethics itself.
