Need a Helping Hand During a Disciplinary Process? Meet Your Ethics Advocate
An Ethics Advocate (EA) is a FREE member resource available to anyone involved in a disciplinary proceeding—whether you’re the one filing a complaint or responding to one. These trained volunteers from our Professional Standards Committee are here to support you throughout the process.
Ethics Advocates can help you fill out forms clearly and efficiently, gather the right evidence, and even be there with you during the hearing if you’d like. While they’re not lawyers and can’t offer legal advice, they’re great at helping you stay organized and present your case effectively.
EAs don’t testify as witnesses during the hearing, you’ll still need to attend the hearing yourself—but having someone knowledgeable by your side can make a big difference. And don’t worry—working with an EA doesn’t stop you from hiring an attorney if you choose to do so.
In short, you don’t have to go through the process alone. CCAR’s trained Ethics Advocates are here to help every step of the way.
