Utah Ethical Leadership Awards now accepting applications
By Candace Horne
The fifth annual Utah Ethical Leadership Awards program, which recognizes and supports the ethical leadership of organizations in the state of Utah, is now underway. Applications are now open for these awards. All businesses, government entities, and nonprofit organizations with ethical standards are encouraged to apply. Applications close July 30. The application is available online.
Finalists will be announced after a thorough evaluation process and will be notified the beginning of August. All finalists will then be invited to an awards breakfast Sept. 7 where the winners will be announced. One award will be given to each winner in the business, government, and nonprofit categories. Finalists and awardees will receive extensive press coverage in Utah Business Magazine and other media outlets.
The awards are designed to recognize organizations that embody the spirit of ethical leadership exhibited by Bill Daniels, a founder of the modern cable industry and former owner of the Utah Stars. Daniels believed deeply in ethics, integrity, and the importance of absolute ethical principles, which earned him great respect throughout the business world.
Last year’s winners were as follows:
—Business: Tink’s Superior Auto Parts
—Nonprofit: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah
—State/government: Lowell Bennion Community Service Center
