Purpose Of Code Of Ethics

Purpose of the Code
Family matters and it is important to establish the ground work to building and maintaining a strong and nurturing environment. The Purpose of the Code of Ethics is to provide core beliefs and values for the family to build upon and for future members to use as an example.
