Reminder: Ethics Training for Supervisors/Managers 
A key factor in Jefferson Lab's success is maintaining an ethical culture, where our people and processes are viewed with trust and integrity. To ensure the laboratory maintains the highest standards of ethical conduct, and to create a deeper awareness of the roles and responsibilities of members of management, all supervisors and managers must complete an in-person training session as part of the annual Standards of Ethics and Code of Conduct training by the end of the calendar year. If you have not already, you may see all open class dates and register for the class, Maintaining an Ethical Culture Inside & Outside Jefferson Lab (MGT105), in the Learning Management System: https://misportal.jlab.org/training/viewSkill.seam?skillId=3503&from=viewClass
