About the forum
Each year, Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota hosts the Hendrickson Institute for Ethical Leadership Forum, a premier Twin Cities event featuring an internationally recognized thought leader. The forum brings together Saint Mary’s faculty, staff, students, and regional business and community leaders for meaningful dialogue on ethics, leadership, and global issues shaping our world.
From global migration and microfinance to world-altering events and the emerging global order, the Hendrickson Forum offers timely, thought-provoking insight and discussion. The program also includes the presentation of the Hendrickson Institute Medal for Ethical Leadership, honoring a local leader who exemplifies ethical leadership and service, followed by reflections from the recipient on their professional journey.

“
Each year this event is a highlight for our university, because we come together to discuss important, relevant topics about ethical business leadership and global issues, and this dialogue is so essential in our world today.”
