GUIDING PRINCIPLES & ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Our organization understands and agrees to the following Guiding Principles:

5. No one organization can meet all needs for the entire military and veteran population. Stronger collaboration between military, government and community partners support service members, veterans and their families in connecting to the right program, resource and/or benefit at the right time. Organizations should also focus on collaboration to maximize available resources and minimize duplication of effort.
Our organization understands and agrees to the following Ethical Considerations:

Organizations should consult with subject matter experts when necessary.
