Ethics & Compliance Officers Network

THE GREATER CHARLOTTE ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE OFFICERS NETWORK

The Greater Charlotte Ethics and Compliance Officers Network consists of professional ethics and compliance officers and academics who specialize in business ethics. The objectives and benefits of the group include:

  • Bringing together corporate ethics and compliance officers with academics who specialize in business ethics to improve business practices, policies, structures, and systemsDiscussing challenges and solutions that emerge in the course of developing and maintaining an organizational culture of ethics and compliance
  • Engaging in meaningful discussion about the ethical issues members encounter then sharing best ethical practices in organizations, corporations, and universities
  • Networking with similar groups to increase opportunities for dialogue
  • Convening two to three meetings a year at which members may profile their corporations’ or institutions’ best ethical practices and academics discuss research applicable to ethical issues the group encounters.

The typical formal program includes a presentation by one or more ethics and compliance officers and/or academics who specialize in business ethics. The presentation formats have included case studies, short films, lectures followed by panel discussion, and presentations followed by a question and answer session. Most programs have involved a breakfast, lunch, or reception and have lasted approximately two hours.

The Ethics and Compliance Officers always look to recruit new members who serve as Compliance Officers in their business or who have an interest in Business Ethics. If you are interested in joining or have questions please email ethicscenter@uncc.edu
