  4. Members will not cause dishonor to the Association through their actions while representing the WCMVCA.

  5. Members will promote solidarity, harmony and support among members and fellow workers.  They will not undermine, vilify, berate or otherwise intentionally injure the work, accomplishments, efforts or professional reputation of another.

  6. Members will not conduct or in any way participate in a fallacious review of the work of a fellow worker or other member.

  7. Members will help defend and morally support others against unjust claims and accusations.  They will defend the mosquito control profession and report to the Executive Board any member acting in a manner inconsistent with the policies and guidelines set forth by the WCMVCA.

  8. Charges of any violation of this code on the part of any member will be reviewed by the WCMVCA Executive Board and may, with a majority vote of the Board, result in, but not be limited to, censureship, loss of voting privileges within the Association, removal from Committee membership and removal from membership in the Association.
