The Creed

I believe in the Association of Educational Office Employees as an organization of the members, by the members, for the members; whose power is derived from the consent of the members; an independent organization; a united unit of professional, technical, business and clerical personnel; established upon those principles of freedom and choice, equality, justice and professionalism to which office employees have dedicated their time, money and efforts for the past 83 years.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my association to support it; to abide by its Bylaws; to respect its Declaration to Principles; to honor its Code of Ethics; to participate in and contribute to its efforts to improve the quality of life for all educational office employees.
