Turney Stevens, Director
Brad Reid, Senior Scholar

The Dean Institute for Corporate Governance and  Integrity was formed in 2008 as a national forum to integrate best practices in board governance with commitments to integrity for public and private company board directors and management.

The institute was funded initially by a generous gift from Hilton and Sallie Dean. Mr. Dean is a former vice chairman of Ernst & Young, LLP, New York, and currently serves as the chairman of the Board of Trustees of Lipscomb University.

Unlike other programs on corporate ethics and governance, Lipscomb’s Dean Institute approaches the issues confronting today’s board directors and corporate executives from a faith-based perspective and addresses the root issues at play. It seeks to inspire scholarship as well as dialogue at all levels of corporate and institutional life, exploring ways to encourage cultures of integrity and seeking practical methods of more responsible stewardship for all stakeholders. The institute seeks to examine and encourage the guiding principles and factors that inspire honesty and transparency, even when those qualities may appear to have negative short-term consequences.
