Research paper (not an analysis paper)
- Based on your major and chosen profession, identify a national or international Professional Association that provides a code of conduct or code of ethics for your industry. (NOT an employer, NOT a chapter or local/regional organization) You do not have to be a current member – the research is for a professional organization that would benefit you in your chosen career field that offers a Code of Ethics or a Code of Conduct. (Choose another if your first choice does not offer an official code with a link.)
- Example:
- Major – Finance, professional career opportunities: financial advisor, professional association choices (among others). You could choose one of the professional associations below — or find another that you like – there are several.
- Financial Planning Association (FPA), or National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA), or National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA), or Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) (or other)
