CO-OP has signed on to the Principles for Good Governance and Ethical
Practice.

    "The Principles remain an invaluable resource for organizations
    committed to improving governance. They represent the first time that
    organizations reflecting a broad cross-section of the American nonprofit
    community came together to develop principles of ethical conduct,
    accountability, and transparency that they aspire to and encourage all
    organizations to follow.

    The Panel on the Nonprofit Sector incorporated a careful review of more
    than 50 self-regulation systems, counsel from a diverse committee of
    experts, and significant feedback from the field in the development of
    these Principles. The Reference Edition of the Principles includes legal
    background for each Principle, studies on self-regulation systems, and a
    glossary of terms. An Executive Summary is available for those who want a
    brief overview of the Principles."
