Last week, I gave a two hour talk (with lots of good questions and comments) on "Avoiding the Front Page of the Newspaper: Why Ethics in Public Contracting Matters."
The occasion was a meeting of the Pacific Northwest Public Purchasing Association (PNPPA), holding their fall workshop in Port Townsend, Washington.
Here's an outline of the topics I covered:
- Public Service is a Public Trust
- 5 Keys to Making Ethical Decisions
- What's So Important About Appearances?
- Why Do We Have Public Contracting?
- 5 Risks of Ethical Lapses
- Is It a Conflict of Interest?
- What Ethics Laws and Standards Apply?
- What Gifts Can I Accept?
- The Ethics of Contract Administration
- The Ethics of Internal Politics
- What Trends in Public Contracting Affect Ethics
- Resources
If you're interested in having me speak to your agency, please contact me.
