CODE OF ETHICS POLICY
9.2
It is the policy of the Jewish Community Center (Center) to provide services and programs to the
community according to the highest ethical standards. Maintaining the highest ethical standards is
critical in maintaining the public’s trust which demands the complete confidence of donors,
volunteers, employees, licensing organizations, government agencies and the community at large.
Employees and board members are expected to be of good character and to conduct all center
business with the highest level of honesty, integrity, fairness, transparency and respect.
As a professional, I pledge to abide by this policy, including:
-
Conducting myself in a lawful and honest manner with all members of the community
including but not limited to, vendors, members, program participants, donors, volunteers,
and fellow staff or board members.
-
Complying with the letter as well as the spirit of any applicable law.
-
Using the resources and assets of the Center in a responsible and wise manner.
-
Avoiding any potential conflict of interest and disclosing any potential conflict.
-
Exercising the best governance, practices and procedures possible.
-
Being aware of the Center’s reputation and not acting in any manner that would potentially
damage or harm that reputation in the community.
-
Complying with all established policies and procedures of the Center.
-
Maintaining the confidentiality of any proprietary information.
-
Acting in a manner that provides absolute transparency and that I make my intentions
known in all dealings.
-
Refusing to tolerate the discrimination or harassment of any individual.
-
Full, accurate and timely disclosure of any and all issues that may have a significant impact
on the Center’s reputation and perception in the community.
If at any time I suspect a fellow employee or board member has not fully complied with this code of
ethics policy it is my duty to report the violation immediately as outlined in the Whistleblower
policy.
