Code of Ethics

We celebrate the discernment and diligence of this multi-year project engaging hundreds of our members. The drafts were compiled from 2018-2020, with inputs by survey, correspondence with Executive Ministers, Facebook focus groups, chapter meetings and discussions of national chapter representatives. The current document was approved by chapter representatives on November 19, 2020 and ratified by vote of sixteen chapters over 2021-2022. For more information on the process and vote, contact ministerscouncil@abc-usa.org.
