NAPO acknowledges the dedication of its
members who have been engaged in the business of organizing
for five years or more. The prestigious Golden
Circle designation demonstrates to the general public
worldwide that the organizing industry recognizes its members
who have gained a significant level of experience.
This Code of Ethics is a set of principles
to provide guidelines in our professional conduct with our
clients, colleagues and community.
As a member of the National Association
of Professional Organizers, I pledge to exercise judgment,
self-restraint and conscience in my conduct in order to establish
and maintain public confidence in the integrity of NAPO members
and to preserve and encourage fair and equitable practices
among all who are engaged in the profession of organizing.
|
| Working Relationships |
 |
|
I will serve my clients
with integrity, competence and objectivity, and will treat
them with respect and courtesy. |
|
|
I will offer services in
those areas in which I am qualified and will accurately
represent those qualifications in both verbal and written
communications. |
|
|
When unable or unqualified
to fulfill requests for services, I will make every effort
to recommend the services of other qualified organizers
and/or other qualified professionals. |
|
|
I will advertise my services
in an honest manner and will represent the organizing
profession accurately.
|
| Confidentiality and Conflict
of Interest |
|
|
I will keep confidential
all client information, both business and personal, including
that which may be revealed by other organizers.
|
|
|
I will use proprietary
client information only with the client’s permission. |
|
|
I will keep client information
confidential and not use it to benefit myself or my firm,
or reveal this information to others. |
| Fees |
|
|
I will decide independently
and communicate to my client in advance my
fees and expenses, and will charge fees and expenses which
I deem
reasonable, legitimate, and commensurate with my experience,
the services I
deliver and the responsibility I accept. |
|
|
I will make recommendations
for products and services with my client's
best interests in mind.
|
|
|
|
I will seek and maintain
an equitable, honorable and cooperative association with
other NAPO members and will treat them with respect and
courtesy. |
|
|
I will respect the intellectual
property rights (materials, titles and thematic creations)
of my colleagues, and other firms and individuals, and
will not use proprietary information or methodologies
without permission. |
|
|
I will act and speak on
a high professional level so as not to bring discredit
to the organizing profession. |
