In matters regarding self-governing professions, the practices, procedures, and rules are all unique and ever-changing. The unique role of the self-regulatory body in protecting the public interest and maintaining the profession's integrity and credibility must be balanced with the individual member's interest.
INFONEX's Professional Regulation and Discipline will guide you though the complaint process, from the moment a complaint is made, through the investigation process and evidence gathering, to the discipline hearings, assignment of sanctions, and decision writing.
You will hear about proven methods for resolving complaints through informal or alternative mechanisms before they escalate to lengthy and costly disciplinary hearings. In addition, our distinguished conference faculty will explore the best strategies for ensuring quality of practice within your profession, and the most effective ways of proceeding against unauthorized practitioners.
For more than a decade, INFONEX has provided members of self-regulating organizations with the cutting-edge information and insights they need to function at their best and maintain the institutional effectiveness that their professions require.
