Values and Ethics

MEA embodies the Marine Corps, Core Values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment. These principles are guidelines for conducting ourselves as a transitioning Marine or Marine veteran since it is part of our way of life. Our values show what we stand for as a Marine and reflect on MEA and those organizations or associations that we have a partnership with - observing the high standards of conduct and being diligent in our duties.

 

MEA's reputation depends upon its leadership and members taking personal responsibility for adhering to this code of personal and business conduct protocols to retain membership as outlined in this code:

• Advancing MEA leadership to build upon the needs and values of transitioning Marines and to inspire those aspirations and potential of transitioning Maines, employers, and others

• Promoting social, economic, and talent management empowerment of all transitioning Marines seeking transition aid

• Members shall not knowingly release misleading information, nor encourage or otherwise take part in the release of such information, and shall refrain from deriving any personal gain from confidential information they may have acquired in the exercise of their duties.
