Event Description
The IGFOA Growth & Engagement Network (GEN), Chicago Metro Chapter, and South Metro Chapter present GFOA Ethics in Action - Part 2: Treating People Fairly, with Reliability and Consistency.
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 2 of the series, participants will explore the importance of finance officers Treating People Fairly, with Reliability and Consistency and surviving and thriving in a political environment, through a combination of facilitated discussion, examples, case studies, and small group discussion.
