Last week the Business for Peace Foundation, based in Oslo, Norway, announced its 2013 Business for Peace Honorees. Eighty nominations from fifty countries, five Honorees and Dean was the only American. The award, commonly known as the "Nobel Prize for Business", is chosen by a panel of Nobel Laureates, including Dr. Muhammed Yunus, creator of the Grameen Bank microloan system. Dean couldn't attend the ceremony in Oslo as he was at daughter Sarah's graduation from Pitzer College, but his award was received and his acceptance speech given by old London friend Lord James Abinger (they were salvage diving pirates together in the 1980's, before both of them straightened up!). Congrats to Dean! International recognition for all of your groundbreaking work!
