What We Do

The Professional Conduct and Ethics Committee (PCEC) reviews complaints and holds hearings on unethical and/or unprofessional behavior and makes recommendations to the board of directors for resolution of those issues.

For Our Members

The PCEC program allows the committee to pursue complaints against NASS members only by other NASS members. NASS members are stringent in policing one another. If a member behaves in a manner unbecoming to the profession, one of his NASS member colleagues will likely report him, at which time we will be able to investigate his conduct pursuant to the Code of Ethics.

Process

The PCEC is a formal process that strictly adheres to the procedural guidelines, complaints that do not follow protocol will not be considered or reviewed by the PCEC.
