“This recognition from the ethics and governance community affirms our confidence in Joel Rogers and the entire RedHawk Ethics team, which we acquired earlier this year,” said Hal Jones, CEO of Kaplan Professional. “The Millstein Center’s primary mission is to serve as the leading global resource for testing, challenging, and advancing the premise that corporations should, and can, serve society. Those tenets support our clients’ belief that organizations which implement ongoing ethics programs derive benefits ranging from improved employee performance and longevity to increased profitability and sustainability.”
