According to Barbara Kimmel, TAA Executive Director, "This year's recipients once again include leaders from the public and private sectors as well as authors, consultants, researchers and academics. Each recipient has made an extensive, positive contribution to building trust in business."
For three years Trust Across America has been working with a growing team of experts to study, define and quantify trustworthy business behavior. While the research is nowhere near complete, they have learned that an organization cannot be deemed trustworthy without a culture that embraces the following characteristics: financial stability and strength, accounting conservativeness, corporate integrity, transparency, sustainability and long-term reputation preservation.
These Top 100 Thought Leaders represent the culmination of the three years of research. Trust Across America sought the counsel of and requested nominations for this honor from over 150 professionals across the nation. The list was narrowed through an extensive vetting and independent judging process.
