About Us
Since 2001, the National Ethics Association (NEA) has helped business professionals build their businesses on a foundation of trust, ethics and best practices. The Association is committed to helping businesses service their customers with knowledge and integrity by providing educational resources and content encouraging and promoting ethics in business and beyond.
