    CODE OF CONDUCT
    What is the difference between ethics and conduct? Ethics involves your personal beliefs. It relates to how you feel about interacting in society, whether or not society generally agrees with you. Conduct, however, describes your actual interactions in society. The NAWCC or AAHS cannot regulate your ethics; however, by this Code it defines what is acceptable conduct.
  • Members shall conduct themselves in a way that brings no reproach or discredit to the AAHS, any NAWCC Chapter, any other AAHS or NAWCC member, any member of the public, or to themselves and in so doing shall abide by federal, state, and local laws in the pursuit of their horological interests.
  • Members shall show respect to every individual and not engage in personal attacks of any kind against any other person or organization in any public forum, newsletter, internal AAHS or NAWCC forum, chapter meeting, regional or national event, documentation, or publication. For example, it is acceptable to debate issues and philosophies but not the character of people or entities.
