What's New at IGE
Rush Kidder to moderate "Ethics in Action" at Council on Foundations Annual Conference 5/9/06
All long-term dynamic foundations have ethics at their core. Recent publicity
shows the paramount place that ethics play in the public’s support for foundations. Ethics, therefore, point to the future. Rather than being restrictive, ethical policies that are clearly articulated within foundations will foster support from stakeholders and unify board and staff members around sound core values. Those values form the recipe for enduring success. A climate of “Obedience to the Uninforceable” is our future.
