Ethics is defined as “Standards of behavior or the principles of
conduct governing an individual or profession.” (Practical
Ethics; AMA, 1988, Gordon Shea)
The National Guardianship Association is pleased to introduce
the Ethics Forum, a new benefit of membership. Through the
Ethics Forum, members are able to confidentially access an
exclusive group of seasoned ethics specialists via a unique
email address.
The services of the Ethics Forum are available only to those who
hold membership in NGA, but accessing the Forum is very easy.
Current members can learn how to use the Forum in the Members
Only section of this website.
NGA members will benefit from this service by receiving guidance
regarding a situation where a conflict may exist. Members will
learn from others’ experiences and may prevent ethical dilemmas
from developing in the future. Most importantly, NGA Members
will learn how to better apply the NGA Standards of Practice
which are the foundation of the guardianship profession.
