Each Affiliation, In Depth

What each membership actually means.

A short account of each institution and what the affiliation commits the practice to.

Knights of Columbus

Member: Fraternal Service Organization committed to charity, unity, fraternity, and the dignity of every person.

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic fraternal service organization built around charity, unity, fraternity, and the dignity of every person. Membership is a public commitment to service rather than a professional credential.

For Dr. David T. Randolph, that commitment shows up less in a mission statement than in how an engagement is actually conducted, with integrity, discretion, and a sense of obligation to the person across the table. It sits alongside the practice's stated principles of integrity in all dealings and confidentiality.

Notarial Standards02
