Carl Sagan's quote inspired the following proposed Pledge and Code of Conduct for GLA Board Directors and candidates. Please add to this list, or comment below, if you can think of other items that should be included. Directors and candidates are invited to pledge and comment below, as well!
*I promise to hold myself and fellow GLA directors accountable for our actions.
*I promise to learn and uphold the governing documents of the GLA and to not sabotage their integrity.
*I promise to place principle and fairness above personal agenda.
*I promise to uphold personal integrity and not lie to or deceive my fellow board members or constituents.
*I promise that my first order of loyalty is to the association and its well being, not any other organization or institution.
*I promise to study the issues, come prepared to all meetings, and fully participate in discussions and the collective decision making process.
*I promise to remain neutral in any bidding or contract negotiating process and to not use my director position for personal gain or aggrandizement.
*I promise to represent all members equitably and without special favor or discrimination.
*I promise to hold myself to a higher standard as a director, to uphold all facets of the governing documents, to conduct myself with honor, integrity and professionalism.
*I promise to adhere to the guidelines of the Montana Non-Profit Association's Principles and Practices.
*I promise to resign from my position as a GLA director if I do not adhere to this code of conduct, or if 2/3 of the directors in attendance at any convened GLA board meeting find me in violation of any promise I have made herein.
I promise to question everything my leaders tell me. I promise to use my critical faculties. I promise to develop my independence of thought. I promise to educate myself so I can make my own judgments. ~ Carl Sagan
