ERC Fellows Program
The Ethics Resource Center (ERC) Fellows Program is a select group of corporate, government, non-profit and educational leaders who share an expertise and strong practical interest in the fields of organizational ethics. The purpose of the ERC Fellows Program is to identify, examine, and further understand the critical organizational ethics questions challenging organizations today.
The ERC Fellows Program focused on ethical corporate leadership at its winter meeting Jan. 20-22 in Washington, D.C. Some well-known names inside the Beltway took part in the discussions. View picture gallery.
The mission of the ERC Fellows Program is to research, develop, and advocate for organizational ethics with a measurable impact.
The ERC Fellows pledge to accomplish their mission through open dialogue around cutting-edge ethics issues, collaborative research, communications, and work products with practical applications.
Ten Years of the ERC Fellows Program

ERC Fellows Meetings
The Fellows meet twice a year in January and July for two day meetings. These meetings provide a forum for engaging in meaningful discussion about the ethical issues members encounter and to initiate research or form working groups around those topics that warrant additional attention.
Fellows Working Groups
The ERC Fellows Program Supports six active working groups to conduct collaborative research and practical work products, including: white papers, interviews, surveys, templates, and literature reviews. Click here to learn more.
ERC Fellows Quick Polls
ERC recently began a series of quick polls on current topics of relevance to the ERC Fellows. These polls are disseminated to all of the ERC Fellows, to provide the group with useful information on current ethics and compliance topics and allow for benchmarking across organizations.
Stanley C. Pace Leadership in Ethics Award
The ERC Fellows annually bestow the Stanley C. Pace Leadership in Ethics Award to honor an organization, individual or group of individuals displaying excellence in the ethics field. The award recognizes the recipient's accomplishments and contributions in ethical business management.
