A Message from the Citizen’s Ethics Advisory Board Chairman       The Connecticut Office of State Ethics (OSE) maintains a high ethical standard to ensure that Connecticut’s citizens have an ethical government.  Our commitment to education provides the foundation toward ensuring that those in public positions are aware of – and are complying with – key ethics code provisions such as conflicts of interest, gifts, outside employment, revolving door, and voting and official action.        Our dedicated OSE staff members are always available to provide advice and guidance regarding the Code of Ethics.  We encourage you to register for our training sessions, request an in-house workshop for your agency, utilize our plain-language guides, and online training.          You may also request an opinion regarding ethics compliance by contacting the agency's Legal Division and receive a staff opinion over the phone, via e-mail or letter, or request an opinion from the Citizen’s Ethics Advisory Board.            Commit to diligently and carefully performing your duties with utmost integrity – remember – Ethics Matters!      Sincerely,             David W.
