Chamber Ethics Toolkit

Chambers of commerce play a central role in supporting businesses and strengthening communities. With that trust comes a responsibility to uphold clear and consistent ethical standards.

ACCE's Chamber Ethics Toolkit helps chamber professionals and volunteer leaders navigate ethical decisions with confidence. This toolkit covers the ethical issues chamber leaders navigate most, from governance and day-to-day operations to moments of crisis and public pressure.

The toolkit includes samples from more than 30 chambers of commerce and multimedia resources from ACCE, including three brand new interactive tools:

• Ethical Decision-Making Tool: A guided framework for working through difficult situations with clarity and consistency
• Sample Ethical Scenarios: Real-world situations designed to spark discussion and build shared judgment across your team
• Chamber Ethics Self-Assessment: A scored review of your organization's current practices that surfaces gaps and identifies opportunities for improvement
