The William J. Bresnan Ethics in Business Award

Honoring a legacy.

Decoration

Since 2011, the Bresnan Award has been awarded annually to one person in the industry who has demonstrated a true commitment to ethics in business. We choose an honoree who profoundly represents the ideals upheld by Bill Bresnan, including:

  • Meaningful ethical leadership qualities
  • Doing what's right in the face of adversity, even when it is unpopular
  • Maintaining high standards and ethics in the workplace
  • Mentorship and inspiration of employees and associates
  • An immense commitment to society, community, and philanthropy

Bill Bresnan demonstrated the highest ethical standards in both his professional and personal life. It’s what he was known for—in his family, the industry, and all of the communities he served. He had an innate understanding of right and wrong and applied that to how he lived his life. While he wasn’t one to call attention to himself, recognizing others for their integrity is how we pay respect to his legacy and honor the path he paved.
