"Ethics: An Issue That Gets You In The Spotlight"  

Don will share some stories of the simplicity of the traps, prevention, and results of some examples of purchasing/contracting ethic violations that have made the current events list. He promises it will not spoil your breakfast and you could leave with a better perspective of the issues confronting our profession. He will also provide attendees an opportunity to interact with their ideas.
