Statement of Ethics for a Credential Evaluation Professional

Please note that The TAICEP Membership Criteria and Statement of Ethics for a

ensure a respectful and inclusive environment for all members, committee members
and Board-members alike. The TAICEP Membership Criteria and Statement of Ethics
for a Credential Evaluation Professional outlines the expected professional behavior
and the avoidance of con ict of interest as well as commitment to the principles of
diversity and transparency. It is the individual responsibility of each Person** to aspire
to the highest possible standard, respecting the ethics and principles as outlined in the
above-mentioned document.

By agreeing to these standards and assuming membership with TAICEP, a member

agrees to abide by the Bylaws
(https://www.taicep.org/taiceporgwp/about/governance/bylaws/) of the association
including The TAICEP Membership Criteria and Statement of Ethics for a Credential
Evaluation Professional in support of TAICEP’s vision, mission, and values. Under the
Bylaws, TAICEP reserves the right to expel any Person that acts in breach of the
membership criteria, Bylaws, Standing Rules, or decisions of the Association; infringes
the intellectual property (including the logo) of the Association; or causes

standards, values and ethics. As part of the membership application and in

The member and the member’s organization will not misguide “clients” with the sole
purpose of their own advantage (or disadvantage of the clients involved).

TAICEP individual and or organizational membership can be revoked if an individual or

organization engages in activities contrary to TAICEP’s Vision, Mission, Values and
Goals Statement.  Membership in TAICEP is not a right.  If TAICEP in any way has
