Ethics nominations due Friday

There is still time to make a nomination for the 2013 New Mexico Ethics in Business Awards.

Nominations will be accepted until Friday at 5 p.m.

The Ethics in Business Awards are an annual recognition of for-profit businesses, not-for-profit organizations and individuals whose work in New Mexico demonstrates the highest ethical conduct and social responsibility.

A maximum of 30 nominees will be forwarded to UNM Anderson School of Management after careful analysis of all nominations by a volunteer screening committee.

Following the screening process, business ethics students, led by professor Sarah D. Smith, will research each nominee during the fall semester. A selection committee, a group of New Mexico business leaders, will meet to choose the recipients.

A nomination form and criteria for selection may be obtained by checking the website at www.EthicsInBusinessNM.com or by calling the Samaritan Counseling Center at 505-842-5300.

The Samaritan Counseling Center’s New Mexico Ethics in Business Awards program began in 1999.

By recognizing New Mexico companies, organizations and individuals who give leadership in ethical business practice, the center continues to support a more ethical community while also raising funds for the Center’s Good Samaritan Fund which provides financially assisted counseling services to the community.
