Code of Conduct as a DeMolay Advisor:

Dear Brothers, ladies, "Moms" and "Dads":

Since our founding in 1919, the core of being a DeMolay advisor has been the same: one generation mentoring the next generation. While times fashion and other things have changed, that core principle has not.

 In the coming weeks and months we hope to be adding more and more adult volunteers.  In an attempt to distill the question "what qualities do you look for in advisors?" As a team, we sat down to think about what are the best qualities of a DeMolay adult volunteer? How do we capture and distill them.? The result is the Code of Conduct for DeMolay Advisors.  If you think something is missing or unclear, let us know, you can shoot me an email at pbrusoe@nydemolay.org 

This was sent to both the SEC and the SAC for their review and input and I greatly appreciate the feed back they gave.

Yours for a Stronger New York DeMolay,
- "Dad" Brusoe


Code of Conduct as a DeMolay Advisor:

1. My primary goal in serving as a DeMolay Advisor is to help develop all of the youth I have been entrusted to mentor.

2. In the spirit of the third candle, I will treat every young man and young lady in our organization and our sister organizations with courtesy and respect.

4. If a dispute arises with a fellow advisor, I will work to resolve the issue before escalating the issue.

5. I will be a living example of DeMolay values and virtues inspiring the young people in our organization by my daily actions, thoughts, and deeds.
