Northern California Rotary clubs are launching their inaugural North Coast Ethics in Business Awards and are seeking nominations for those recognitions. Rotary District 5130, comprised of 47 Rotary clubs, six Rotaract clubs and more than 2,700 members in Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, and Sonoma counties, will honor businesses and organizations that exemplify exceptional ethical business practices in the workplace, in the marketplace and in their communities.There will be four categories of recognition for Northern California organizations: large, medium and small business (based on numbers of employees) and nonprofit organization. Award recipients will be honored for going beyond expected standards in the ethical conduct of their organizations.The North Coast Ethics in Business Award is a vision of Rotary District 5130 Governor Doug Johnson. Johnson strongly believes Rotary’s core values are closely aligned with the consistent organizational practice of ethics in business. “As Rotarians, we want to honor businesses that are doing things right—and that embody the Rotarian values of public service, fairness, integrity, and community spirit,” said Johnson.#placement_573654_0_i{width:100%;max-width:550px;margin:0 auto;}var rnd = window.rnd || Math.floor(Math.random()*10e6);var pid573654 = window.pid573654 || rnd;var plc573654 = window.plc573654 || 0;var abkw = window.abkw || '';var absrc = 'https://ads.empowerlocal.co/adserve/;ID=181918;size=0x0;setID=573654;type=js;sw='+screen.width+';sh='+screen.height+';spr='+window.devicePixelRatio+';kw='+abkw+';pid='+pid573654+';place='+(plc573654++)+';rnd='+rnd+';click=CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER';var _absrc = absrc.split("type=js"); absrc = _absrc[0] + 'type=js;referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) + _absrc[1];document.write('');The public is invited to nominate businesses and nonprofit organizations for the award.
