TOS Ethics Committee

The Ethics Committee is a standing committee of volunteers comprised of a Chair and six TOS members, none of whom are current members of the TOS Council.

In addition to convening one annual meeting, the Ethics Committee will meet on an as-needed basis to evaluate issues or complaints formally presented to the committee. Meetings will take place virtually unless otherwise noted.
