Rev. Morris E. Hintzman, president of Metropolitan Ministries, will receive the Tampa Bay Ethics Award from the Center for Ethics at The University of Tampa at a breakfast and ceremony on Thursday, Nov. 3.

Individual tickets are $25 per person, a table of eight is $150 and corporate sponsorships are available for $750 or $1,500.
The Tampa Bay Ethics Award celebrates integrity, virtue and character by recognizing outstanding individuals in business, professional services or government who exemplify moral qualities and the highest standards in their daily activities.

His passion is to provide answers for the poor and homeless in the Tampa Bay area. He is a respected authority on poverty and social services, with both earned and honorary doctorates, and shares his experience and knowledge on councils, boards and committees to make a difference in the state.
