The aim of the D. B. Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership is to bring people together in fruitful conversation about ethical ideas and issues, inspiring people to lead ethical lives while at the same time helping people to develop leadership abilities to further the common good in their communities and organizations.

We pursue this aim by providing "pictures" of good lives through our "Ethics Lecture" series, the "Leadership at Noon" lectures, and the "Day to Day Ethics" radio program. 

We also offer opportunities for groups of people to come together in conversation about the practice and teaching of ethics in our annual Ethics Conference, and our workshops on "Teaching the Holocaust" and "Teaching the Virtues."

"Man is a creature who makes pictures of himself, and then comes to resemble the picture."  ~Iris Murdoch

“Nothing so important as an ethic is ever written….  It evolves in the minds of a thinking community.”  ~Aldo Leopold
