“We are delighted to welcome Lilian to the board,” said Peter A. French, Ph.D., the Center’s Director. “Her 20-plus years of business perspective – particularly as it relates to consumers of healthcare – will prove invaluable in our continuing effort to take on the hard ethical issues of the day and help make them relevant to decision-making for individuals, organizations and governing bodies now and in the future. Her counsel and expertise will be crucial to the success of many of the projects, especially those related to healthcare issues, on which the Center and its Lincoln Professors are and will be engaged.”
“I am honored to serve on the board and look forward to working with the Center’s directors, professors and other board members to advance the importance of social responsibility, moral leadership and values in everyday life,” said Myers. “The recent ethical and fiduciary lapses by the country’s leading financial institutions underscore the critical role of critical and sound thinking in instilling integrity, character and sense of morality in industry and innovation.”
