Our "Code of Conduct" was developed by your Board of Directors. The purpose of this document is to serve as a set of guidelines, to provide a bit of structure regarding membership in IJO and to communicate what being a member, both retailer and manufacturer, within the IJO organization stands for. The Board of Directors wanted to keep this as simple as possible and we believe that this document accomplishes just that. Please take a few moments to review the code.
