The Neeley School of Business at TCU, partnering with the Tarrant Chapter of
the Society for Financial Service Professionals (SFSP), is accepting nominations
for the 2006 Greater Tarrant Business Ethics Awards. Nomination forms are
available at www.ethics.tcu.edu.
Deadline for submitting a nomination is January 15, 2006. Financial service
companies and nonprofit organizations are excluded due to their close
association with the SFSP.
The Greater Tarrant Business Ethics Awards recognize companies that exemplify
high standards of ethical behavior in everyday business conduct and in response
to specific crises/challenges. Winners compete nationally for the American
Business Ethics Awards.
“For the past several years, the media has been full of stories about poor
business ethics,” said Marketing Professor Shannon Shipp, who teaches Neeley’s
Ethical Decision Making class. “With these awards, we turn the spotlight on
local companies that successfully exemplify superior business ethics.”
Awards are given in three categories: large companies (more than 2,500
employees), mid-sized (250-2,500 employees), and small (fewer than 250
employees).
All nominated companies will receive an official entry brochure and be
invited to an entry preparation class. Entries must be submitted by March 6,
2006.
Recipients of the 2006 Greater Tarrant Business Ethics Awards will be
recognized and honored at an awards luncheon on April 26, 2006, at the Dee J.
Kelly Alumni & Visitors Center at TCU.
Winners of the 2005 awards were Bell Helicopter Textron and Branch-Smith
Printing. Finalists in 2005 included American Ironhorse, Atlas Foundation
Company, Keller Williams Realty, S&J Electric and Thomas S. Byrne Ltd.
The Greater Tarrant Business Ethics Awards are sponsored by: Neeley School of
Business, Society of Financial Service Professionals, Financial Planning
Association, Star-Telegram and KPMG.
