National Ethics Counsel's Response Form

National Ethics Counsel's Response Form

This form is for the AIA Member to respond to the allegations in the complaint form. The National Ethics Counsel (NEC) has the primary authority to determine whether a violation of the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct has occurred and, if so, what penalty (including potential termination of membership) should be imposed. In doing so, it follows the process stated in the Rules of Procedure, which are designed to protect the rights of both the complaining party and the member who is the subject of the complaint. If the NEC finds that a violation has occurred, its decision may be appealed to the AIA’s Board of Directors.

The NEC does not independently investigate or prosecute cases against AIA members. It is the sole responsibility of the Complainant and Respondent to submit evidence, call upon and produce witnesses, and present their respective cases. The NEC’s deliberations and decisions are based solely on what the Complainant and Respondent present and submit as part of the case record.
