NEW DVD:
“Ethical Business Leadership: A Chapter
Program”
The
Society recently launched the Beta Gamma Sigma
Center for Ethical Business Leadership (www.eblcenter.org)
– an online resource for information and
ideas on effective ethical leadership practices.
The site includes videotaped conversations with
business leaders known for their commitment
to building strong, ethical corporate cultures
including Douglas Conant, president and CEO,
Campbell’s Soup Company; Anne Mulcahy,
chairman and former CEO, Xerox; and Timothy
Flynn, chairman, KPMG, and many, many more.
 In
conjunction with the EBL Center, Beta Gamma
Sigma has also produced a DVD intended for Collegiate
Chapters titled, “Ethical Business
Leadership: A Chapter Program.”
This informative DVD contains interviews with
corporate executives explaining how their organizations
have developed, maintained and enhanced their
ethical cultures. The DVD is segmented into
four chapters on the following topics:
- Leading
by Example;
- An
Ethical DNA;
-
Ethics and Advancement;
- Maintaining
a Culture of Ethics.
Your
BGS chapter can utilize this DVD for a chapter
program – inviting members and business
leaders in your area to watch segments and discuss
these important issues. If your chapter chooses
to take part in this event, please send pictures
and tell us about it.
“Ethical Business Leadership:
A Chapter Program", is available
free of charge to all Beta Gamma Sigma Collegiate
Chapters. If your chapter hasn’t already
received this DVD, send a request to eblcenter@betagammasigma.org
to obtain a free copy.
BGS Scholarships
For
qualifying chapters, the BGS Scholarship Program
continues to grow. Last year,
Beta Gamma Sigma and its member deans awarded
more than $140,000 in scholarships to deserving
new members, and would like for that number
to grow. It is our goal that every chapter awards
a scholarship each year to a deserving student.
