Twenty-eight finalists have been selected by the Colorado Ethics in Business Alliance for its annual awards. CEBA honors ethical role models in business and nonprofit organizations.

The finalists, which include 13 companies, eight nonprofits and seven individuals, represent a wide range of industries and community organizations, including hospitals, youth agencies, law firms and financial institutions. Several finalists hail from the Denver metro area but the list also includes Grand Junction, Pagosa Springs, Boulder and Parker.

Since its formation in 1991, CEBA, a nonprofit organization, has recognized more than 79 Coloradans and businesses as outstanding role models for ethical business practices and leadership. ColoradoBiz is a founding member and sponsor.

Since the finalists were announced in December, teams of students from the University of Denver's Daniels School of Business and the University of Colorado Denver have been conducting research and interviewing the 28 finalists in preparation to present their findings to an independent selection committee that determines the award winners.
