Welcome to the New Orleans Ethics Review Board (ERB)

The mission of the Ethics Review Board is to enforce the Code of Ethics, which was established to remind each public official and employee that individually and collectively, public officials and employees must adhere to high ethical standards not simply to avoid sanctions or criticism. It applies to all officials of the government of the city, where elected or appointed; aII employees, whether classified or unclassified; and all members and employees of all boards, agendas, commissions, advisory committees, public trusts, and public benefit corporations of the City.

Any person may file a complaint concerning violations of the Code of Ethics with the Ethics Review Board. The Ethics Review Board works cooperatively with the Office of Inspector General and the Office of the Independent Police Monitor, and receives periodic reports of findings and recommendations from those offices. 

Who We Serve

Our ethical standards apply to:

  • Elected and appointed officials
  • All city employees
  • Members of boards, agencies, commissions, and advisory committees
  • Employees of public trusts and benefit corporations

What You'll Find Here

Our Partnerships

We collaborate closely with the Office of Inspector General and the Office of the Independent Police Monitor, regularly reviewing their findings and recommendations.

Board Composition Our Board consists of seven volunteer members serving staggered seven-year terms:

  • Six members nominated by local university presidents/chancellors
  • One member appointed directly by the mayor
  • All appointments approved by the City Council

We encourage public engagement. If you have concerns about potential ethics violations, you can file a complaint directly with the ERB.

We're committed to fostering a culture of integrity in New Orleans' government. Explore our site to learn how we're working to achieve this goal.
