Requirements for Admission

Institute Membership

Membership is open to individuals who meet certain mimimum criteria as noted in the standard requirements for the Certification in Applied Ethics. For those who successfully complete the program become life members of the Institute.

Members are engaged or desire to be involved in an enterprise that permits them an opportunity to teach, demonstrate, counsel, and/or train others in applied ethics. Being drawn to ethics and the responsibility that goes with the interpretation and separation between what is ethical and what is not, is clearly the work of those who are inherently ethical mediators.

Individuals drawn to public service, the law, medicine, or any one of many other professional disciplines have historically been called on to be those mediators.

Today, we realize that the training and education often may ned some additional assistance to permit individuals to successfully act as ethics officers, diversity offiers and ombudsmen in organizations; positions that call on special skills with special training.

Membership provides individuals with a network of other professionals with whom they can and do share information that may be of assistance to them in any one of a myriad of unique ethical dilemmas.
