MCI/Enron...Could this happen to you?

Ever wonder how “normal people” get sucked into situations like the ones we read about? Want to hear from someone who’s “been there, done that” to find out how it happens?

Walt Pavlo will present on his experience of going from a top executive at MCI WorldCom to becoming a convicted felon and serving two years in prison. He will share his faith journey, the lessons he learned and the motivations, actions and consequences of a white collar crime.

To register visit www.integrityresource.org or call 913-782-9333 for more details.

Cost: $45/individual, $400 for a table of 10

A great event for your executive team and guaranteed to spark some interesting conversations!
