Noon – 1 p.m. on Zoom only (link to follow)

Stu Brody, author the Law of Small Things: Creating a Habit of Integrity in
a Culture of Mistrust, leads us in conversation about the erosion of
integrity in public life, lamenting the concomitant phenomena of growing
uncivil speech and the increasing contempt for virtue and truth among
political and civic leaders, corporate managers, and private citizens.

Stu has served as adviser to prominent political figures, including
presidential candidates. In his career as a lawyer, Stu has represented
many high-profile clients and appeared before the United States Supreme
Court. Stu also has held numerous public offices and taught in the School
of Government and Public Policy at the University of Arizona. He is founder
of IntegrityIntensive, a consulting firm concentrating on decision-making,
leadership and personal development. Stu is completing work on a
forthcoming novel, American Hero: Love and Trust in a Time of Politics and
War.

Plattsburgh community. The Ethics Institute Fellowship program is
