BOARD OF ETHICS
In June of 2003, WSSC adopted regulations for a Code of Ethics, including conflicts of interest, financial disclosure, lobbying disclosure, and ethics in public contracting. The Code of Ethics was effective as of November 1, 2003.
WSSC’s Commissioners and employees are required to maintain the highest professional and ethical standards in the performance of their official duties. The purpose of the Code of Ethics is to identify those activities which shall be considered unethical for employees to engage in and which are therefore prohibited. The Code of Ethics also establishes an independent Board of Ethics to assist the agency in maintaining the desired ethical standards.
A Board of Ethics assists WSSC in maintaining superior professional and ethical conduct and public confidence in the integrity of the agency. The Board consists of 3 members appointed by the Commission on the basis of their professionalism, integrity and competence. The Montgomery County Commissioners shall nominate one member and the Prince George’s County Commissioners shall nominate one member. The third member may be nominated by any member of the Commission. One member of the Board is designated by the Commission as Chairperson and serves in that capacity for 1 year or until a successor is appointed. The Commission may appoint an alternate member to the Board.
