Diverging practices and business ethics have always been an issue confronting our industry. Issues of payment of commissions, relationships with vendors, meeting points or rewards and other types of non-monetary gifts or items of value, how we use social media relative to ethics and getting and keeping jobs have raised and continue to raise concerns. In this session, we will explore issues and topics that can result in "gray areas" as they relate to professionalism and ethics in this industry. We'll explore guidelines for consistent industry ethical practices.
Are you a planner who needs financial assistance to attend the GMC November Program? Contact the
