professionalizing, systematizing & making a science of Outreach

All learned occupations have a definition of professionalism, a code of conduct... they all have at least three common elements.
   First is an expectation of selflessness... place the needs and concerns of those who depend on us above our own.
   Second is an expectation of skill...
   Third is an expectation of trustworthiness...
 
[Emphasis added. The same three apply to outreach. Here quoting The Checklist Manifest, 2009 p.182]
