Purpose

Work to improve fellowship, pride, honor, and recognition for our profession.
Work to always develop & improve our collective knowledge, skills and good professional ethics.
Willingly share what I’ve learned with other professionals, and remain open to learn from their experiences.
Always make the most effective use of all of my facilities and my employer’s resources.
