GREETINGS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I trust you had a peaceful, warm and restorative holiday. As we dig out of the first (and hopefully last) blizzard of 2014 in New York, I am pleased to share with you our latest resources and upcoming events:
1. I am especially excited about the January 15th half-day seminar at the Rutgers Institute for Ethical Leadership on "The Corporate Board's Responsibility for Ethics & Risk in a Time of Crisis", featuring governance leader and keynote speaker, Dr. Reatha Clark King, Chairman of the Board of the National Association for Corporate Directors, who will also sit down with us for a fireside chat and audience Q&A. The seminar also features a major interactive crisis simulation with a mock board with Hans W. Decker, retired Vice Chair and CEO of Siemens USA and James Jalil, Esq., former Danskin Director and managing partner at Thompson Hine. To register please click here: http://bit.ly/1iwKUwB
2. This Newsletter's middle column lists several published resources you might find helpful - from a proposal on how to create an internal structure to prevent future business scandals (my latest GlobalEthicist Column) to some suggestions on how to build a culture of integrity and profitability (the ECOA Connections piece).
3. On January 23rd, I will be facilitating a Conference Board Webcast on "Leadership & Culture Failure: Preventative Strategies & Tools" with Jacqueline E. Brevard, retired Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer of Merck & Co., Inc., and Judy Young, Executive Director of the Rutgers University Institute for Ethical Leadership. To register please click here: http://bit.ly/1e8soVG
4. Check out my TV interview with Switch & Shift TV's Ted Coine on "Leaders Turn Risk into Competitive Advantage" in which we explore how leaders can turn challenge into opportunity (see more information in the bottom middle column of this Newsletter).
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions for future columns or events or if you have a governance, risk, ethics, compliance or corporate responsibility matter you would like to discuss. And, if you are not already following me on Twitter - please do - @GlobalEthicist
I wish you a terrific start to 2014!

Switch & Shift TV
Interview with Andrea Bonime-Blanc
"Leaders Turn Risk into Competitive Advantage"
In the words of Ted Coine, the host of the program: "Can the right ethics and reputation program save a company potentially billions of dollars in fines and restitution? You bet it can! Just wait until you hear Andrea's example of a bank not getting into trouble because the Department of Justice admires the bank's commitment to ethics and its fast and effective response to one bad actor's misdeeds."
