The annual FASPE Dinner and Awards for Ethical Leadership is a celebration of FASPE, but, more, it is also a time for us to recognize ethical leadership in action and, perhaps especially important in 2025, to recognize the need for ethical leadership.
Nearly 400 people joined us on November 17th to celebrate this year's honorees. For those who weren’t able to attend, we hope the transcripts and videos below offer a chance to share in the experience and see FASPE in action as we seek to meet the moment.

Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE) is a global nonprofit that challenges future leaders to recognize and confront their ethical responsibilities by examining the roles and behaviors of individual professionals in Germany and elsewhere between 1933 and 1945 as an initial framework for approaching ethical responsibility in the professions today.
At our annual Awards Dinner, we honor individuals, corporations, and FASPE alumni who have demonstrated the highest ethical standards in their fields.
