The maintenance of the marketplace's confidence in the professionalism, honesty, ability and integrity of the lecture bureau industry is primary to the success of the International Association of Speakers Bureaus. The IASB Code of Ethics was developed to serve as a guide to the everyday professional conduct of speakers bureaus. As a condition of membership, IASB Members must subscribe to the principles outlined in the code at the time of initial application and upon annual renewal of their membership.
Article 1. The IASB member shall honor all agreements.
Article 2. The IASB member shall accurately and appropriately represent their relationship with speakers.
Article 3. The IASB member shall communicate effectively and truthfully with customers, speakers and other speakers bureaus.
Article 4. The IASB member shall represent a person (speaker) in accordance with their wishes, the wishes of their designated representative or as mutually agreed via contract.
Article 5. The IASB member shall not use names of people or entities in a way that might mislead or be misleading.
The IASB Code of Ethics applies only to current IASB members. If you believe a member of IASB is in violation of this Code of Ethics, one of your options is to file a complaint with IASB (click here for more info).
IASB has also developed guidelines on a range of business practices and accepted standards (click here to view the practices).
