Code of Conduct
The Code of Conduct (“the Code”) can be described as a set of statements that set out what the Association of Motoring Clubs (“AOMC’’) considers to be an acceptable standard of behaviour and conduct.
The Code explains how:
The AOMC expects its Committee, Delegates & Volunteers, and their guests to behave. The Code provides a guide and basis of expectations while attending AOMC meetings and events.
The Code encourages commitment to ethical and professional behaviour and outlines the principles and values on which the AOMC is based.
The Code is an integral part of the AOMC. It sets a standard of behaviour that helps build the AOMC’s culture and provides guidance when dealing with conduct and behavioural issues when they arise.
This Code sets expectations for everyone involved.
