3) Treat employees and subcontractors fairly and respectfully.

4) Remain true to my moral and ethical values in all business dealings.

5) Continue to develop DivaDesignWorld's pool of talented designers and programmers.

6) Perform pro-bono work (as time/money permits) for organizations that are inline with DivaDesignWorld's core values.
