The SWE Ethics Committee is delegated to administer the procedures for review of SWE member conduct. In this capacity, the committee reviews complaints made by SWE members regarding potential violations of SWE’s Member Code of Conduct.
The Ethics Committee also ensures that the Member Code of Conduct and Procedure is implemented and followed consistently and objectively. The committee provides a review of complaints, including investigation, determines changes, and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors on actions to be taken, as appropriate.
If you have a question, concern, or formal complaint, you may contact the Ethics Committee directly. Please submit a completed “Formal Ethics Complaint Initiation Form” that can be found on the Resource Center under Governance Documents.
