                  ETHICS IN GOVERNMENT-ETHICAL CULTURES
                   FALLS FROM GRACE AND THE WAY AHEAD

                             March 6, 2009


      Pacific McGeorge will host the second in a series of Ethics
      Across the Professions symposia on Friday, March 6, 2009.


      ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:

      The conference, "Ethics in Government-Ethical Cultures,
      Falls from Grace, and the Way Ahead," will focus ethics and
      conduct in government, issues that have taken on heightened
      importance as local, state and federal governments address
      scandal, allegations of impropriety, and concerns about
      conflicts of interest in both political office and in the
      public service.

      Drawing on the unique challenges and opportunities
      presented by an election year and a new administration,
      the symposium will bring together academic experts,
      practitioners, and thoughtful observers with experience
      in and out of government for a timely reflection on the
      problems, analysis of the cures and an open roundtable on
      the way forward. Lobbying and ethics will be the special
      focus of a major session.


      KEYNOTE SPEAKER:

      Former California Assembly Speaker Willie L. Brown, Jr.
      will provide a personal reflection on these critical issues.


      REGISTRATION/FURTHER INFORMATION:

      This conference is supported by a grant from the Sierra
      Health Foundation and is part of a series of annual
      gatherings dedicated to the discussion of Ethics Across the
      Professions.
