    agencies, volunteer organizations and other NASAR members with whom we

    work.  We shall endeavor to guard their interests honestly and deal with  

    them       

    fairly, wisely and in efficient, proper manner. We shall behave honestly in all     

    matters, respect privileged communication, avoid any real or perceived

    conflicts of interest and deal with others courteously and politely.

    search and rescue to the highest attainable levels without regard to race, sex,

    in service to humanity.

 

    * THAT we have an obligation to advance the knowledge and skills of search

    and rescue so that we can serve the needs of the missing or injured. We shall

    strive to improve our own knowledge and skills; support others by sharing our

    experiences; and strive to keep ourselves fully informed of new developments

    in the profession.

 

    * THAT we shall support the mission of the National Association for Search

    and Rescue "... that others may live", and shall at all times conduct ourselves

    in an ethical and prudent manner worthy of our professions. Our signature

    below constitutes our personal affirmation responsibly to discharge these     

    obligations.
