How to file a formal complaint for a violation of the AEA Policy on Harassment, Discrimination, and Retaliation and/or the AEA Code of Professional Conduct


AEA members may file a formal complaint about another member, or about conduct in connection with an AEA-sponsored activity, if they believe the AEA Policy on Harassment, Discrimination, and Retaliation and/or the AEA Code of Professional Conduct have been violated.  Formal complaints should be sent to the AEA Secretary-Treasurer or the AEA President directly at secretary@aeapubs.org. The procedures upon receipt of a formal complaint can be found here.

If you wish to make a formal complaint to the AEA about the conduct of a member, you may want to consider reporting the conduct to an entity with responsibility for overseeing that professional's conduct as well. 

If you have any questions regarding the filing of a formal complaint or about the AEA's procedures, or you wish to seek advice and consultation confidentially, you should contact the AEA Ombuds Team.
