NOLS Receives Better Business Bureau Ethics Award

Last night NOLS’ Executive Director John Gans was in Fort Collins, Colorado to accept the Rocky Mountain Better Business Bureau’s Torch Award. The Torch Award goes to businesses that exemplify ethics in business.

NOLS was nominated for the award by business students from the University of Wyoming and was the first non-profit to have received the prestigious award.

Gans, accepting the award on behalf of all 800 NOLS staff worldwide, commented that when an organization has a purpose that inspires its staff and customers that ethical behavior occurs organically. NOLS’ purpose to develop active, positive leaders with an environmental ethic and outdoor skills that last a lifetime inspires everyone at the school to be the best and do the best that they can.

NOLS will now be considered for the BBB’s International Torch Award.
