ETHICS & EDUCATION
Chrissey Ladd is the Chair of the Ethics Committee. The implications of the role to which notaries are responsible define the very office of their commission. The NJ Notary Manual indicates that notaries public are, "impartial witnesses." Defining that directive is why an ethical notary public is so critical to every transaction that requires execution by a notary public. The Ethics Chair is responsible for educating NJNA Members in the most current ethical imperatives; examining current legal landscape and determining how ethics can protect notaries public.
