An Introduction to the WOMMA Ethics Code


The WOMMA Code of Ethics is a cornerstone of the principles that built this organization. WOMMA is very proud that the FTC recognized in their new guide, with no less than ten specific references, the authority and integrity of the overall WOMMA Code.

As part of our annual ethics evaluation process, WOMMA established the Living Ethics Review as the method in which we update the WOMMA Code of Ethics. Furthermore, WOMMA formalized an interim review process so that our organization can adopt necessary code changes quickly, but with thoughtful consideration and care for the impact on our industry and our membership.

We strive to provide ethical leadership, and wish to hold our members to high standards which are integral to maintaining a quality reputation for both our organization, and its valued members.
