“It is always extremely moving to see the number of people that turn out to affirm the value of good leadership both in local business dealings and in our national” said Gary Tedrick, president of Answer Midwest and long-time event coordinator. “This year’s speaker has much to teach us.”
Whitacre is the author of “When Good Leaders Lose Their Way”. He is the highest ranked executive of any Fortune 500 company in US history to become a whistleblower and is responsible for uncovering the ADM price-fixing scandal in the early 1990’s. CBMC invited Whitacre to share his one-of-a-kind insight into corporate ethics, corporate greed, and the warning signs of flawed corporate leadership. Come hear his story of how God can turn something evil into something good.
