Dear Mr. Green:

Thank you and Ann Collins for taking time from your very busy schedule today to meet with Marta Villegas, my visiting online (Jones International University) ?doctoral (D.B.A., Doctor of Business Administration) ?student from Colombia, South America, Marta Villegas .? You shared very exciting insight into business ethics, with special reference to banking, based on your own professional practices.

In particular, Marta and I discussed at length your ?ethics counselor? approach after our hour-long visit with you and Ms. Collins.? It is, for both of us, the first time we have encountered this concept; its value was crystal clear right away!? This technique, in fact, may provide the leverage Marta needs to move banking ethics forward in her home country, Colombia, South America.? This is a super ?benchmark!?

Marta has worked for the Bank of Colombia, and her work for it has caused her to develop a passion for promoting banking ethics in her homeland.? Our visit with you today provided invaluable guidance for her research and application of her research findings.? For example, your discussion of the need to conduct ethical education within the ?context? of actual operations was pure field-tested wisdom.

As we discussed, more and more the future of our country will focus on South America; your kind offer to visit with Marta on fairly short notice has been a potentially valuable step for building ?bridges? between Wisconsin and Colombia, to the advantage of both countries.? You and Ms. Collins gave Marta valuable field research help today.? You also won her deep respect for you and the State of Wisconsin.

I also thank Ray Allen for making you aware of Marta?s visit.? It is typical of his interest in moving our state and country forward and into the future.? He certainly picked the rights persons to host this visit on both professional and personal levels.? As a native of Wisconsin, this writer was proud of your insight and good will that you extended to my student.? You helped to plant ?seeds of growth? today.

Sincerely,

Paul Rux, Ph.D. (Wisconsin-Madison)

Online D.B.A. Professor Jones International University
