St. Joseph Health Ministries has been described as deeply committed to its core values of reverence, integrity, compassion and excellence. Welsh Mountain Medical and Dental Center's mission is “to provide quality, family-centered health services to all members of the community, especially those who encounter barriers to care.” The Center has been providing services for more than 35 years and has worked to evolve with best practices as they emerge. Throughout this time, the Center has kept its core values and mission in focus while maintaining the culture that important to the Board, staff and community. For-Profit Nominees: The Horst Group places a high value on the importance of business ethics and has adopted its Cornerstone to Ethical Behavior: Integrity/Honesty, Commitment, Confidentiality, Responsibility, Independence and Moral Courage. The Horst Group’s ethics philosophy begins with its vision statement, “Performing with a passion for excellence while doing the right things the right way.” This vision and values permeate the organization in all it does and serves as a guide for its decisions and actions. Lapp Electrical Service's Values and Vision Statement is simple but direct. It says: “We believe in superior service to customers, employees and our community, in communicating honesty, no matter the cost, and in gratefulness, by counting our blessings every day and in every way.” Lapp Electric’s dedication to ethics in business is demonstrated by its Code of Ethics which begins with the statement that “the success of Lapp Electrical Service and its employees depends upon the way in which they conduct themselves. Honesty, integrity and respect are keys to that success.” Rodgers & Associates' employees are proud of the company they work for because of the code of ethics they abide by. An important factor noted by this company’s employees is that it offers fee-based services in an industry predominated by commission-based service companies. This allows them to strive to always place the client’s interest before the company’s interests and achieve positive results for their clients. Integrity is another company value expected of each employee. This company stands apart from its peers and works toward achieving the highest ethical standards. Individual Nominees: Chip Cargas, Chairman and CEO of Cargas Systems, created a culture 19 years ago around 3 values: teamwork, customer care and shared success. He has been committed to employee ownership of his company from the outset and this has created transparency and openness in all communications. When asked what ethics in business means to him, he responded, “The basics. Caring for and respecting everyone your business touches. We must always remain true to our purpose and values.” Chip’s view is that he wants “clients for life” and that fair treatment is compensated by these long term relationships. Gary Langmuir, President and CEO of Wohlsen Construction, began as a shareholder of Wohlsen Construction in 1986 and became CEO in 1990. For Gary, integrity is an essential value. As he says, without integrity, you have nothing. Throughout his career, Gary has set an example through his commitment to honesty and openness in all his dealings. Gary has said that the respect of his wife and children is more important than anything else and serves as a guiding force for his values and his behavior. Roger North, Owner and President, North Group Consultants, has been described as deeply committed to servant leadership. For him, ethics in business has two strong components. The first is doing what is right; no matter the cost. The second is to serve the interests of others before your own. One person said, “Roger is about relationships and transparency.” By living ethically with those closest to him, his family, he has the energy, commitment and courage toserve the needs of others as an ethical business person. John Pyfer, Pyfer Partners is described as an honorable man who treats everyone with respect. As anyone who knows John is aware, he lives by the Boy Scout Oath in every aspect of his life. His word is his bond. John is held in high regard by his community and his fellow professionals. He is a man of strong convictions and strong values.
