The Ethics Committee is composed of?

• A. The Ethics Committee is comprised of PCB board members and/or its designees.
• B. The Ethics Committee is comprised of clients.
• C. The Ethics Committee is a single person.
• D. The Ethics Committee is comprised of attorneys only.

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that an Ethics Committee should have members who are part of the organization’s leadership or appointed by it, to ensure legitimate governance and impartial oversight. That’s why the committee is formed from PCB board members and/or their designees. Bringing in clients would compromise objectivity since they’re directly involved in matters under ethics review. A single person can’t provide the checks and balances needed for fair evaluation, and limiting the committee to attorneys excludes the broader organizational perspective necessary for ethics governance.
