Submit Your Comments on New Disciplinary Procedures

On Jan. 1, 2015, the American Retirement Association (ARA) will officially become the new parent entity of ASPPA, ACOPA, NAPA and NTSA. Because the ARA’s Code of Professional Conduct will apply to all of these four sister organizations, new disciplinary procedures have been proposed.

Some of the highlights of the proposal include:

· 

  • converting the ASPPA Professional Conduct Committee to the ARA Professional Conduct Committee to review complaints filed against members of all four sister organizations;
  • adding NTSA and NAPA members to the ARA Professional Conduct Committee; and
  • requiring that any Disciplinary Panel convened to review a complaint include four members of the relevant sister organization.

These changes and other adjustments to the disciplinary process are posted here. ASPPA members are encouraged to review the document and submit their written comments by Jan. 31, 2015 to Ray Harmon at [email protected].
