Business Ethics Alliance Announces Upcoming Events About Purpose of Business

John Tyler, J.D., chief counsel in legal and chief ethics & compliance officer for the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, will headline two events for the Business Ethics Alliance (businessethicsalliance.org/events) this fall. Attendees will learn about the social purpose of business and how organizations can leverage financial structures and ethics initiatives to “do good” in their business.

An Executive Breakfast will be held at the Holland Performing Arts Center on Thursday, September 13, from 7:30-8:45 a.m. Mr. Tyler will address what the C-suite needs to know about the ethics of traditional corporate structure and social enterprise alternatives. Attendees will explore corporate social purpose and the ways in which organizations can make a social impact.

An Ethics Luncheon, also on Thursday, September 13, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., will be held at the newly-renovated Scott Conference Center. Designed for middle managers, ethics and compliance officers, and HR professionals, the event will feature a Q&A with Mr. Tyler on what organizations can do to engage employees in “doing good.”
