Since we're inducting today.
BNI's Code of Ethics:
The BNI Code of Ethics and all BNI Policies have been approved by the International Board of Advisers. They are all members from around the world who meet to discuss issues that deal with the concerns of members. BNI's policies dealing with the standards expected from our members were created by members, for members.
BNI members are expected to learn and abide by these policies. Directors, Ambassadors, Leadership Teams, and Membership Committees are entrusted with the enforcement of these policies. When evaluating members in response to complaints by other members, please apply the following Code of Ethics to the situation. This is not meant to be a list of specifics, but can be applied in principle to almost any conflict or complaint.
NOTE: Professional standards outlined in a formal code of ethics, supersede the above standards. (This means that a member belonging to a profession that has a more stringent standard must adhere to that standard. An example of this is the state bar association standards for attorneys licensed to practice law in that state. It should be noted that no professional standards outlined in a formal code of ethics may lower BNI ethical standards, or avoid compliance with BNI policies.)
