Ethics Day a Hit With Area High Schools and Business Leaders
On December 7th, the Concord Campus and the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce joined together with Mt. Diablo Unified School District to host "Ethical Decision-Making for Tomorrow's Leaders". Eighty high school students, thirty business leaders and ten educators joined for the annual event, focusing on the decision-making process and ethics.

Concord Councilman Mark Peterson was the keynote speaker and discussed the importance of ethical decision-making for elected officials, today's business leaders and the upcoming generation.

Participants then broke up into small groups where they discussed scenarios found in the workplace or at school. Various ways to address the issues were shared, creating much discussion and debate. At lunch, groups reported back about their experience. Each school group then planned how they could take the Ethics Day experience back to their own schools and share it with their peers.
