“We are very grateful to have been named as a recipient of the Better Business Bureau’s Business Integrity Award, especially at a time where there is growing suspicion and scrutiny of businesses and nonprofit organizations for dishonest, if not illegal, practices.We work hard to live by our core values of accountability and integrity. We work to be responsible for our outcomes, but we believe that the means to the end are just as important. The way one conducts oneself, as an individual and as an organization, is an important indicator of character. We are pleased that the BBB not only recognizes organizations for doing the right thing, but has established programs to help businesses develop strong, ethical practices.”
