BUSINESS ACCOMPLISHMENTS

• Cornell University Advisor
Dear Mr. Robert Sylk,

Recent events in the news have highlighted the importance of ethical practice in business. While leaders may readily articulate their personal ethical beliefs, we are discovering that they may also play an important role in fostering ethical practices within their organizations.

With regard to facilitating ethical practices in the workplace, we hope that you might be willing to help us, and invite you to speak or write to our educators and industry executives who are interested in fostering ethical work environments.

Your responses will be noted to all members and your input will be most helpful to us. Thank you in advance for your assistance as we strive to create and sustain ethical hospitality work environments.

Best wishes,

Judi Brownell, Professor Dean of Students & Interim Director of Graduate Studies Cornell University School of Hotel Administration
