Dear Friends:

Valparaiso University is a recognized institution of higher education devoted to developing people who can navigate the interactions among financial futures, private lives, public duties, and spiritual cores. It is our good fortune that Valpo has taken the initiative to create the Journal of Values Based Leadership and advance understanding of ethical and moral leadership.

This journal will serve as a valuable resource for business leaders, academics and students in their pursuit of integrity, creditability and morality. The JVBL will inform and inspire its readers.

I congratulate the JVBL on its inaugural issue and look forward to future publications.

Sincerely,

Richard G. Lugar
United States Senator
