ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 Dear Shannon<\/strong>: I serve as our local association Professional Standards Administrator, and some say I\u2019m a bit of a professional standards geek. Which, frankly, I\u2019m proud of. I know that the Code of Ethics has been around for over 100 years; I know the Code of Ethics and Arbitration Manual isn\u2019t a static document and changes along with the industry; I know changes usually take place at the beginning of the calendar year.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n So that\u2019s my question: Are there any January 2024 changes this year to the Code of Ethics and Arbitration Manual?
