Utah Ethical Leadership Awards

Utah Ethical Leadership Awards

Honoring Utah Organizations Leading with Values

 At the Community Foundation of Utah, we believe clear and strong values are the foundation of any great organization. The Utah Ethical Leadership 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. Bill Daniels believed deeply in ethics and integrity, and in the importance of absolute ethical principles, which earned him great respect throughout the business world. 

 This program recognizes leadership in Utah businesses, nonprofit organizations, and government entities that embody best practices in ethical behaviors. The awards are a collaboration of the Community Foundation of Utah, the Daniels Fund, and the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative at the University of Utah’s David Eccles School of Business and are sponsored by Utah Business Magazine and the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute at the University of Utah.
