The community
is invited to attend “Leading with Integrity: What Would You
Do?,” Reinhardt College's Annual Business Ethics Conference on
Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2007, from 9:30 - 10:40 a.m. in the W. Frank
and Evelyn J. Gordy Center in Waleska, Ga. The conference is
hosted by the McCamish School of Business and is free of charge.
Assistance from the Peter S. Knox family & The Tull Foundation
are providing funds for this seminar. Additional information

The presenter will be Dr. Lynn Slavenski who has
senior human resources experience with Equifax University,
Coca-Cola USA, Blue Cross/Blue Shield and many other well known
companies and governmental entities. She plans to lead an
interactive workshop with video scenarios and group discussions.
“Business students today need to address ethics,
and this seminar will complement what we are already teaching in
the classroom,” Garson said. “The news is filled with examples
of why ethical decision-making is critical: Enron, political
porkbarrel legislation (bridge to nowhere in Alaska),
inefficient use of taxpayer money, in appropriate handling of
pension funds, etc.. Organizations operate at warp speed so
difficult choices have to be made quickly by well intentioned,
but stressed and busy people,” Garson said. “Every time
employees find themselves in these complex situations, they may
hold their well being, or the future of their company, in their
hands. This seminar will teach how to make the right decisions
quickly.”
Slavenski will address many common ethical
situations, including document retention and destruction;
intellectual property use; confidential information policies;
computer technology; conflict of interest; accepting and giving
gifts; and maintainence of quality products and services.
Garson invited Slavenski to Reinhardt because of
her broad-ranging executive experience. “She is well known in
the training community throughout the United States for her
human resources knowledge, speaking and writing skills,” Garson
said. “As well as providing outstanding leadership, she is an
executive that walks the ethical talk. And as consultant with
Big Brothers and Sisters, she has spearheaded a major project
with Equifax and Big Brothers to mentor young people.”
Slavenski’s advanced degrees are in
career/organizational, human resource development and
management. She has also been an adjunct faculty member in
business for Mercer University. Other consulting assignments
have involved Bell South Enterprises, BellSouth Corp, the
Department of Labor, Sanno Institute - Japan, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, the American Red Cross,
Prudential Bank, Georgia Institute of Technology, Fernbank
Museum, the Center for Puppetry Arts, Campbell Soup, Home
Depot, GE-Capital, Solvay, Cingular and Dex Media .
A published writer, Slavenski has given more than
50 presentations for professional organizations in areas such as
assessment, development and culture change. She was featured in
the July 2006 issue of Chief Learning Officer Magazine, and she
received the Walter Story Career Award and a Technology Woman of
the Year Award.
