President's Column
May 2006


Chris Coleman
President

We just finished an inspiring month of celebrating INTEGRITY with our Student and Business Award ceremonies in Davenport and Des Moines. In times like this we remember we take too much for granted. Sure there are scam artists and criminals who want to take advantage of us, sure there are young people who make poor decisions, but for every one scam and bad decision, there are dozens of honest business leaders and students who are making our world
a better place. Five of these businesses and ten of these students are the 2006 Integrity Award winners.
