7. CoPS has a simple philosophy with several key points:  We must Exist for the Membership! Without the membership there is no CoPS, Practice Specialties, CIGs, or Branches.  We must Bring Value to the Membership! The members expect to receive something in return for their monetary investment in their Practice Specialty membership and it is important that we be able to provide this. This is also an obstacle for chapters and members.  We must Place the Highest Priority on the Society, its Membership and the Profession! The Council and Practice Specialties must work in support of the Society's mission and vision, not their own individual interests. Council on Practices and Standards Our Philosophy 7

8. Our main focus in regards to chapters is to better integrate CoPS into the mainstream of the Society by bringing value to the Membership, Society and the Profession through Councils, Regions and Chapters. Council on Practices and Standards Our Focus 8

9. The Council and Practices Specialties recognizes the fact that a gap exists with the Regions and Chapters as far as their understanding of the Council and the value that CoPS groups bring to their membership. Council on Practices and Standards Bridging the Gap 9
