developing and refining a proposed “indexed”

will discuss the proposal during the 2006 Chapter
Delegates Meeting, Oct. 13-15, to gauge interest
in a potential bylaws proposal to adopt such a
system. Read
more about the proposal and contact your delegate
with feedback.

Prevent unethical behavior
on the job. Pressure from management or a board
of directors to meet unrealistic business objectives and
deadlines is the leading factor most likely to cause unethical
corporate behavior. Companies that want to combat unethical
behavior should establish policies and processes for ensuring
an ethical culture by keeping promises, encouraging open
communication, keeping employees informed and supporting
employees who uphold ethical standards. (Source: The
