WSYSA Loyalth Oath Ethics Pledge.
An Oxymoron: following WSYSA Loyalty Pledge is Ethical.
I will disclose any interest in a transaction or decision where (including my business of other nonprofit affiliations), my family and/or my significant other, employer or close associate will receive a benefit or gain. I understand that a conflict of interest will result in my removal from the meeting or activity and potentially from Washington Youth Soccer membership.
As a member, referee, administrator, volunteer, paid staff, parent and/or legal guardian, I understand my responsibility to thoroughly acquaint myself with Washington Youth Soccer’s Operating and Governing Documents and demonstrate a working knowledge of these documents. I understand my responsibility to follow and enforce all Washington Youth Soccer and Member Association bylaws, policies, procedures and rules at all times. This includes adhering to the letter, intent and spirit of the documents.
I will respect and support the spirit and intent of the documents and will not engage in activities designed to undermine or sabotage the documents.
I will support Washington Youth Soccer by considering myself a “trustee” of the organization and will do my best to ensure that I will approach all Washington Youth Soccer issues with an open mind, prepared to make the best decision for everyone. I will respect and support a majority decision and will not engage in activities designed to undermine or sabotage a decision once it is made.
I understand that I have a responsibility to promote the game of soccer to the public in a positive manner. When in public, on e-mail, blogs, websites, and all social media, my comments and critiques of governing bodies, members, referees, administrators, volunteers, and paid staff shall be constructive.
