COMMITMENT TO THE PROFESSION

Our individual position, diverse as they are, exist for the common purpose of service to others. We realize the trust implied by that purpose and accept, with dignity and pride, the obligation it imposes.

We believe that the quality of services rendered by the educational office professionals directly influences the effectiveness of service rendered by the educational agency or institution as a whole. For that reason, we look to our professional associations for leadership in raising the standards of educational office personnel and in preparing them to meet the challenges of a changing world. In fulfilling our commitment to the profession, we therefore:

  • Become and remain active members of our professional associations, viewing such membership as an opportunity for personal development.

  • Encourage other educational office professionals to join their professional associations, recognizing that growth is essential to group strength and progress.

  • Interest others in careers as educational office professionals, bringing into our ranks capable and efficient individuals.

  • Place service above personal convenience or pleasure, endeavoring always to be a credit to our profession.


COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY

As educational office professionals, we acknowledge a special duty to join in formulating courses of action that relate to education. In fulfilling our commitment to the community, we shall, therefore:

  • Acquire a working knowledge of the agencies or institutions we serve, realizing that others will look to us for information and guidance.

  • Maintain confidentiality when making public statements remembering that such may be given unusual weight because of our position.

  • Take an active part in the improvement of educational opportunities for all, considering this not only our prerogative but our obligation.
