The world, our industry and our firm are ever-changing. When you aren't sure what the right path forward is, start by asking yourself these questions:

• Is this action or decision legal?
• Is it safe?
• Is it in line with our Code and policies?
• Is it in keeping with CDM Smith's vision and values?
• Would I be comfortable if this was all over social media?
• Is it free from outside influence?

If you answered "yes" to all six questions, it's probably the right choice. If you answered "no" or were unsure about any of them, stop and seek assistance.
