Written Application Questions

Serving on the Conduct Board requires honesty, accountability, and independent judgment. For this reason, all application responses must be your own work. The use of AI tools to create or assist with answers is not allowed and may lead to disqualification.

  1. How would your participation contribute to the success of the board and be beneficial for your future career plans?
  2. Describe a situation where you followed the rules when it may have been easier to go around them.
  3. Describe a situation when you had to defend your actions or recommendations because they were challenged by others. How did you support your decision?
    (For example: Did you use outside sources or information to justify your actions?)
  4. You will be provided with documentation at least 10 business days prior to a Formal Hearing. You will need to review this documentation and formulate questions prior to the hearing.
