• Declaring any interests that may conflict with a fulfilling a role within the AAAI or impinge on the activities of the AAAI (e.g. business interests or employment).
• Keeping confidential matters confidential, including exercising caution and care with any documents containing confidential information;

In respect of their association with the AAAI, members are expected to not:

• Bring the AAAI into disrepute (including through the use of email, social media and other internet sites);
