2008 Message from Carla Miller

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

We at City Ethics wish you success in your personal goals for 2008 and for success in your efforts to bring ethics to governments across the world.

The past products of City Ethics have been a result of many dedicated volunteers who believe in this activity. We hope you join with us and become active with our group. This would involve blogging; responding to others who blog on the site by submitting comments (find the comment fields below blogs/articles etc.) and by emailing us any ideas for expansion or services we can offer to municipalities in the start up or improvement of their ethics programs. You can also forward our site information to others and ask them to join City Ethics. (see below, for a format to send to others.)

One very specific interest we have is to publish best practices on the site, so please consider what has worked BEST for you in the past year, and send us an email with a description of that activity that we can post on the site. Don't worry about formatting, etc. we can make sure that it is posted in the best possible format and accessible by the public.

We look forward to your help with City Ethics. We look forward to progress across the world in anti-corruption and ethics initiatives, as that is the only foundation for lasting peace.
