The Chamber's Education committee hosted its 14th annual middle school ethics day,"
#WhatWouldYouDo
?-Ethic Fails and How to Avoid Them," on Friday, December 1. Over 50 Walnut Creek middle school students gathered at Walnut Creek Presbyterian Church to take part in the program that brings together business leaders, high school facilitators and students for an interactive exploration of various ethical challenges facing all of us today.
Thank you to the business representatives, who took time from their day to lead the student groups, and the high school students who volunteered their time to help facilitate discussion. The Education Committee wouldn't be able to host this event without the generous support of our sponsors-thank you!
