Journey Spark Retirement Gathering

Thursday, September 18, 2014

9:30 AM - 3:30 PM

Indianapolis, IN 


We invite you to a day-long gathering of Journey Fellows who are transitioning toward or into "retirement". We call this group SPARK...as we explore the "encore" chapters of our professional and personal lives. The retreats will help you get grounded, connected and inspired with others traveling the same path toward (on into) the retirement years.  Participants last year had a wonderful day of reflection, conversation, laughter and personal growth.

For more information view the Encore newsletter. Registration ends today, 9/5/2014 so don't delay!

Developing an Ethics and Compliance Training and Communication Program
Wednesday, September 10, 2014
7:00 AM - 9:00 AM
Indianapolis, IN

Implementing effective ethics training and communications is one of the seven steps required by the United States Federal Sentencing Guidelines for Organizations to have an overall 'effective' ethics and compliance program. This presentation will provide key methodologies that can be used to develop an organizational ethics and compliance training and communications program.  

 

Attendees will be given proven tools they can use to create or enhance their own ethics training and communications programs. Professionals in senior leadership, ethics and compliance, human resources, legal, procurement or supply chain, corporate communications management may find this session particularly beneficial, but anyone is welcome to attend.

 

For more information or to R.S.V.P., contact Beverly Day at bday@marian.edu or 317.955.6176317.955.6176.
