Join members of #AIGAAVL and other creatives in the community to discuss Ethics in Client Work.What exactly are ethics, you ask? Well, in general, they are "moral principles that govern a person's behavior or the conducting of an activity."So, here are some questions you can think about before we get together: What are your principles when it comes to working with clients? Is this a topic you've discussed in your work before? Is it just you or do you have a team? If it's just you, how do you communicate your moral principles to your clients? If you're a team, how important is it to all agree on moral principles when it comes to client work and relationships? What is the relationship between core values and ethics at work? How do they impact each other?
