Junior Achievement Executives in the Classroom

Tulsa Executives to Participate in “Excellence and Ethics…an Executive Speaks” Day at three Tulsa area High Schools

TULSA, OKLAHOMA
October 21, 2008

Local business leaders will deliver the message that ethics is necessary to succeed in business and in life through the use of Junior Achievement of Eastern Oklahoma’s “Excellence and Ethics…an Executive Speaks” program. Executives throughout Eastern Oklahoma will convey the message to young people that responsible, ethical behavior is the cornerstone of the American free enterprise system.
 
With the seemingly endless reports of accounting irregularities and business improprieties, it is no wonder that trust in CEOs and "Big Business" is on the decline. To remind students of the proper way to conduct business and that in order to succeed in business you must make ethical decisions. Recent national polls show that fewer than one out of four Americans trust CEOs of large corporations, and those who see “Big Business” as an actual threat to our nation’s future has doubled, to 38%. USA Today/CNN Gallup poll revealed that nine out of ten teenagers would not work for companies they deem unethical.
 
Executives will visit approximately 785 tenth grade students on the following dates, Will Rogers on October 24, East Central on October 28 and Webster High School on November 14. Participating executives include:  
 
Tory Baker, Nordam Group
Bruce Binkley, T.D. Williamson, Inc.
Jason Butler, Grant Thornton LLP
Brent Carroll, RCB Financial Services
William Clary, Miratech Corporation
David Cleveland, Communication Graphics
Jay Condry, CFR, Inc.
William Coody
Marc Delameter, QuikTrip Corporation
John Hamill
Lowell Heck, The Flintco Companies, Inc.
Jennifer Jezek, York Electronic Systems, Inc.
Kevin Kirk, Community Care College
James Lane, Nordam Group
Willene Leffall, City of Tulsa
Lamar Miller, ONEOK
Larry Mocha, Apsco
Jeff Reasor, Reasor’s
Doug Townsdin, Grant Thornton LLP
Brian Urich, AEP/PSO
Bill Whitescarver, Chinoweth & Cohen Realtor
Sonja Wilson, Mazzio’s
 
These business leaders will share basic values and beliefs as well as engage students in discussion on the role of ethics in their school life and in their own personal and business dealings.  JA’s goal is to have these students take part in JA programs throughout their high school education.  If you are an executive and would like to participate we have a few classes available.  Call 918.663.2150 to participate.

Lauren's First Rally

My oldest daughter took part in a political rally with me today prior to the Inhofe Rice debate on KJRH. It was a great experience to teach her how to become involved in supporting responsible government. The best part was challenging her to answer WHY she would support a particular candidate - the unfortunate answer most voters are unable to provide a substantial answer for. Encourage a young person you know to participate in political leadership.
