5. Encourage the strengthening of chaplaincy with particular emphasis on partnerships in the developing world.
6. Provide a model code of ethics for chaplains.

Global Conferences
We are committed to the importance of a global conference for higher education chaplaincy every 4 years. As we serve in higher education around the world, we witness the benefits of and the need for further connecting and building understanding around our interconnected academic world. Our conferences offer an excellent combination of learning, networking, and exchanging of what is happening in chaplaincy in higher education throughout the world, and they lead to new connections that benefit our students, faculty, and staff colleagues.
