Event Description
The IGFOA Growth & Engagement Network (GEN), Chicago Metro Chapter, and South Metro Chapter present Ethics in a Box Series - Part 1: Ethics in Action.
GFOA’s Code of Ethics focuses on public trust and how finance officers can act to both maintain and grow trust and confront challenges. It recognizes that people are imperfect and subject to biases that can challenge ethical behavior. Nonetheless, members in government finance positions must earn and maintain public trust.
“Ethics in Action” is a three-part series based on the GFOA Code of Ethics that asks government finance officers to deal with these challenges within the values defined in the Code in order to serve their entities to the best of their ability.
In Part 1 of the series, participants will explore Integrity and Honesty, Producing Results for My Community, and Diversity and Inclusion through a combination of facilitated discussion, examples, case studies, and small group discussion.
Learning Objectives: Participants completing this session will be able to:
- Become familiar with the GFOA Code of Ethics;
- Understand that government finance professionals are in a unique position of having responsibility over limited resources and the fiscal future of the entity for which they work and the critical role that integrity and honesty play in earning trustworthiness;
- Comprehend that finance officers must produce results to earn and maintain trust through commitment to producing high-quality work, continued development and enhanced financial acumen, as well as exercising good judgement.
- Learn how to embrace diversity and foster inclusiveness by encouraging participation and providing opportunities for participants to be a part of decisions that impact them; and
- Understand that Finance officers influence equity because of their involvement in the allocation of resources.
Speakers: Shayne Kavanagh, Senior Manager of Research, GFOA, Andrew Kim, Director, Public Finance, PMA Securities, LLC, Mark F. Nannini, Chief Financial Officer, Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund, and Patrice Sutton, Chief Financial Officer/Finance Director, Lake County
