Ethics in the Workplace Event - Table Leaders Needed
Ethics in the Workplace with the Hopkins, Minnetonka, Robbinsdale, St. Louis Park, and Wayzata school districts will be held at the Plymouth Creek Center on Wednesday, May 9. An all day event for high school juniors, this program leads students through exercises designed to help them define their core values and explore how those values affect the various ethical decisions that business people make on a daily basis. Chamber members serve as table leaders and present a real-life ethical dilemma to their small group of students. If you'd like to lead a group of students through this exercise, please contact Anne Haberman at (763) 450-2224 or email anne@twinwest.com. |
