Professional Conduct History Requests

---

While we do not intend to function as a policing agent of our members, we do expect our members to behave in a professional and ethical manner. Clients, collegues and others may wish to verify membership as to whether or not someone has a public disciplinary history with the American Rootwork Association (ARA) and the right to use the ARA designation.

Upon written request, ARA will:

• Confirm whether or not the individual is current with membership requirements including payment of dues, receipt of the ARA Code of Ethics, and has the right to use the ARA designation.
• Disclose whether ARA has sanctioned the individual for a blatant ethical matter with a suspension or revocation of membership and/or the right to use the designation; or a permanent banishment from the ARA.
• Provide the published Notice of Disciplinary Action for individuals who have been publicly sanctioned.

ARA will not:

• Disclose whether an individual is the subject of a current or past Professional Conduct investigation.
• Disclose whether ARA has issued a Private Letter of Reprimand to the individual.
• Disclose any information to an anonymous request.

Please include as much of the following information as possible:

• Individual’s full name 
• Address, business name, website address and/or email address

If you would like to report an ethical violation, please see our Code of Ethics to determine whether or not your concern meets our definition of a violation. If it does, then proceed to our Report an Ethical Violation page and submit your report.
