AGA, in conjunction with the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers (NASACT), and the Association of Local Government Auditors (ALGA), is pleased to announce an audio conference that addresses ethical challenges and dilemmas in today’s
work environment that lead to apprehension. We hope to make this program more interactive with your input.
This ethics audio conference will be somewhat different from past programs. The speaker will discuss ethics in the workplace and will explain the thinking and understanding elements of ethical behavior. This session will cover ethics in general and will address the apprehension of
being ethical in the workplace. While many people know or are familiar with the Federal Code of Ethics, 5CFR2635, the audio conference will address potential consequences of doing the right thing or of questioning certain behaviors. It is the "what should I do?" part of ethics.
The speaker will explain the difference between being ethical and being legal through the use of real-life examples. Other topics will include organizational tone, risk-taking, the need for written policies and the requirement for uniform enforcement.
During the presentation, the speaker will answer your questions, submitted in advance of the program, and will provide guidance in various ethical situations. To accomplish this in an audio conference format, participants are asked to submit written questions to Raymond Harris, CGFM at rharris@agacgfm.org by April 29 to give the speaker sufficient time to incorporate them into his presentation. This should make it a lively session.
To discuss the ethics challenge is Leon Young, MA, adjunct associate professor at the University of Maryland, University College. Young is a motivational speaker on leadership, ethics and communications throughout the United States. He is a recognized expert on ethics in organizations in both the public and private sectors. A sought-after keynote speaker for conferences and professional development workshops, he is known for his ability to present serious subjects with humor and to involve his audiences in the subject.
Please join us for two hours of spirited discussion about this important and timely topic. In addition to the speaker’s commentary, participants can ask questions toward the end of the program.
