TRUSTEE Partner Program 

Trustee Partners represent demonstrated excellence in business ethics leadership; they fully support the Core Values of the Greater Omaha business community. The Business Ethics Alliance engages Trustee Partners to act as ambassadors, supporters, and advisors of the Alliance’s mission. 

A Trustee Partner’s primary responsibility, whether organizational or individual, is to serve as a model and beacon of good business ethics for fellow employees, professional colleagues, and the greater Omaha community. By encouraging others to support and participate in Business Ethics Alliance programs and events, over 250 Trustee Partners send the message that ethics matter!
​
​The first Alliance Trustee chairs were Bob Bates (2008-2011), former President of Benefit Partners, the Group Insurance Division of Lincoln Financial Group, and Mike McCarthy (2012-2013), Founder and Chair of McCarthy Capital.
