🎙️ Navigating the Ethics Minefield

Send us Fan Mail

March is National Ethics Awareness Month, which makes it the perfect time to talk about something every association faces, but few discuss honestly: ethics in leadership.

In the newest episode of Association Transformation, co-hosts Elisa Pratt of Brewer Pratt Solutions and Andrew Chamberlain of Elevated unpack what ethical governance really looks like inside associations.

Not just policies. Not just conflict-of-interest forms. And definitely not a once-a-year board training slide.

Instead, they explore the real issues that surface in boardrooms every day:

• When does poor behavior cross the line into unethical conduct?
• Why do so many governance problems come down to structure and communication gaps?
• Who is actually responsible for enforcing ethical standards in an association
• And how do organizations build cultures where integrity is lived and not just written into policy?

From volunteer pathways and board recruitment to risk management, accountability, and leadership culture, this conversation digs into the practical realities of ethics in association governance.
