MEET OUR STANDARDS AND ETHICS COMMITTEE As the first and only provider of certification in the field of Process Consulting, the Society for Process Consulting cares deeply about providing professional standards and ethics. Our Standards and Ethics Committee is responsible for establishing and maintaining the three levels of Process Consulting credential, certifying the curriculum that can be utilized for instruction in achieving these credentials, and upholding the highest standards and ethics in the field of Process Consulting. Our Standards and Ethics Committee is composed of experienced and thoughtful individuals dedicated to upholding the highest standards and ethics in the field. As a committee they meet regularly to review important issues facing the field of Process Consulting so that the Society for Process Consulting can continue to be a leader in the field and the premier provider of Process Consulting training. |
About the Standards and Ethics CommitteeAs the first and only provider of certification in process consulting, we used a discussion-based, dynamic process to form a framework of professional standards and ethics, as can be seen specifically in the Ethics Statement. Our business is one of inquiry and collaboration; in outlining and maintaining a framework of professional ethics, we naturally function in the same way. To that end, we have formed a Committee composed of experienced, thoughtful individuals dedicated to upholding the highest standards and ethics in the field. The Committee reviews and approves the courses offered for certification, and responds to breaches of ethics within the field. |

| Sandra Quick Founder, JOY Unspeakable, Seasoned Educator, & Society Facilitator & Standards & Ethics Committee Member As a Master Teacher and Secondary Principal, Sandra weathered the storm of racial desegregation in Ohio’s largest urban school district. During the most dramatic changes in societal, political and economic cultural upheavals and transitions, including the Vietnam War protests, the Civil Rights Movement and family systems breakdowns, Sandra stayed culturally congruent with these never-ending cultural conversions in attitudes, behaviors and beliefs. Times… they are a changin’. Sandra has years of experience consulting with faith based organizations, non-profits and small businesses which need to make sure their current narrative is congruent and timely, rather than traditional and stagnant. She walks alongside her clients to address internal, organizational issues of inequity and privilege with an eye for constructive process and change. Working from both ends of the cultural competence spectrum, Sandra has built capacity from a preventive approach of conflict resolution, as part of the Minorities Professionals in ADR at Capital Law School (OH). From the other edge, Sandra is certified as a Christian Conciliator to mediate and arbitrate unresolved and unreconciled substantive and relational issues, both secular and faith based. Her current work has also been deeply influenced by her 13 years as the Curriculum and Instruction Director at Lott Carey Baptist Mission School in Liberia, West Africa. |
