“We rely on everyone to create a culture that promotes the highest standard of ethics and compliance, but this is one way to recognize it specifically in our daily activities and with daily examples, so ­others can follow,” said Dan Miller, President of the West Florida ­Division.

“Ethical behavior enables us to convey our values, share information, treat all colleagues with ­dignity and respect, and fosters an environment of open communication that allows individuals to ­express concerns and new ideas.”
