I have been gi ving ethics lectures for last ten years. \; In the beginning\, I gave a lecture introducing the theory of philosophical ethics and explored the di fference between moral compass and ethics and how this relates to business ethics. The following yea r\, I reviewed this model and then applied it to o ur industry with LIVE feedback from the audience v ia polling technology. This year there will be a b rief review of the Business Ethics Model\, a revie w of the SIPES/AAPG code of ethics/conduct and how it fits with the TBPG code of ethics. \; I wi ll focus heavily on examples where our business et hics are tested.  \;I need to hear from YOU to make this experience more meaningful!  \;Plea se submit ethics examples you have encountered in your career to me at (John.Jordan.062255@gmail.com ) to be considered for use in the lecture. \; Examples will be anonymous\, and the situation wil l be modified\, but the issue will be the same as submitted. \; Using the examples\, the audienc e will provide immediate anonymous digital feedbac k while we discuss Business Ethics focusing on mak ing sound\, consistent and ethical decisions.  \; Come and join this entertaining and spirited di scussion about the &ldquo\;grey areas&rdquo\; and make sure to bring a phone that is capable of text ing. I will provide all participants with an Educa tion certificate upon request. \n \n  \;\n \n \n \n Speaker: John E.
