<p> Questionnaire for National Organization for Human Services</p><p>Dear NOHS and/or Regional Member,</p><p>NOHS is revising its ethical code. One of the most important objectives in the process toward the revision is to have the voices of members (practitioners, students, and educators) included from beginning to end. We would be very grateful to hear from you. We will use your responses to the open-ended questions below to create a second questionnaire with which statistical analyses can be used. Submit this completed questionnaire to National Organization for Human Services or to Linda Wark. </p><p>Gratefully,</p><p>Linda Wark, Ph.D., HS-BCP, [email protected], 260/481-6083</p><p>Chair, Ethics Committee, National Organization for Human Services</p><p>5341 Old Highway 5, Ste. 206, #214, Woodstock, GA 30188</p><p>Instructions: Please write brief sentences or phrases to answer the following questions about the current NOHS ethical code.
