Relive the 2020 (Virtual) Ethics in Business Awards

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our 2020 (Virtual) Ethics in Business Awards presentation! We appreciate the patience many of you showed as we learned about and battled through technical difficulties with our attendee logins as the show was about to begin. We’re thrilled so many of you stuck around to learn about our 2020 honorees and hear from our special guest speakers, but we’re happy to provide the full event recording for anyone to replay the event or enjoy for the first time:

Remember, RSVPs are required to attend! We will plan to run a final sweep around 10:00AM. We look forward to joining you, virtually, and celebrating this 18th edition of our community’s Ethics in Business Awards!

Ethical business leadership has never been under more duress than in these past months. RecognizeGood is no exception. With no full-time staff, we have undoubtedly struggled. As we continue steadfast in our mission to share great examples of goodness, we have decided to continue our 2020 Ethics in Business Awards luncheon but to postpone and take it virtual.

Frankly, we can’t wait! We don’t know about you, but we’re ready to celebrate those in the Austin-area business community who go above and beyond to treat people well.

All tickets are free. Take an hour and join us, along with your whole business family and the rest of our business community, for an uplifting and positive focus on some of Austin’s best.

New event date:
Tuesday, June 30, 2020
11:00AM-12:00PM

RSVP today and stay tuned for further event details!
