Best Practices - Version 9.0

The CGA's Best Practices Committee developed a Best Practices Guide based on the work of the "Common Ground Task Force." The guide includes a restatement of the best practices listed in the Common Ground Study, practice statements with supporting description, and all new practices published at least three months prior to the publication date. The latest version, Best Practices Version 9.0, was published in March 2012 and includes all new practices approved prior to December 2011.
