Preamble
Each member of the National Contract
Management Association accepts the obligation to uphold the purposes of
the organization as set forth in the NCMA Bylaws, to strive for the increase
of knowledge in job performance and the field of contract management, and
to abide by the letter and spirit of the ethical standards of the Association.
As prescribed in Article XIX of the
Bylaws, this Code of Ethics establishes for the member a foundation of
professional conduct. However, ethical conduct may require more than merely
abiding by the letter of the Code. It is therefore incumbent upon each
member of the Association to make a commitment to honorable behavior in
all aspects of work and professional activity.
Standards
Each member of NCMA shall:
-
Strive to attain the highest professional
standard of job performance, to exercise diligence in carrying out the
duties of his or her employer, and to serve that employer to the best of
one’s ability.
-
Keep informed of acquisition developments,
through academic course work and attendance at symposia, in order to increase
knowledge, skill and thoroughness of work preparation.
-
Respect the confidence and trust reposed
in the member by one’s employer.
-
Conduct oneself in such a manner as to
bring credit upon the Association, as well as to maintain trust and confidence
in the integrity of the acquisition process.
-
Avoid engagement in any transaction that
might conflict with the proper discharge of one’s employment duties by
reason of a financial interest, family relationship, or any other circumstance
causing a breach of confidence in the acquisition process.
-
Not knowingly influence others to commit
any act that would constitute a violation of this Code.
