the 14th annual Tampa Bay Ethics Award Breakfast on Friday, Sept. 24, at 7:30
a.m. in the Vaughn Center Crescent Club.
For the past several years, the UT Center for Ethics has recognized an
individual whose personal, business and professional life reflects those
classical ethical standards that contribute to all that is good in our society —
responsibility, respect, trustworthiness, caring, justice and citizenship.
Kaplan is executive director of the National Conference for Community and
Justice — Tampa Bay Region. He has led the human relations organization in
addressing bias, bigotry and racism in the community. He has been recognized
nationally as a "Hero of Education" by the U.S. Department of Education, and has
served as an adviser on the President's Commission on Race Relations, "One
America."
The 2004 Tampa Bay Ethics Award Breakfast is open to the
public.
