Former Arthur Andersen partner to speak on managing through Enron crisis

The next College of Arts and Sciences Forum will look at “Managing When the Unexpected Happens,” featuring BGSU alumnus Michael McGuire, from noon-1:15 p.m. Sept. 23 in 308 Bowen-Thompson Student Union.

The campus community is invited to hear McGuire, former managing partner of the Carolinas Audit Division of Arthur Andersen, talk about values and ethics as they relate to his experience and professional life. When the Andersen organization was tainted by the Enron scandal in March 2002, he began to deal with the crisis by writing down his “Guiding Principles.” By sticking to these principles, jobs were saved and a new business emerged in the Carolina marketplace. McGuire will share the principles and the wisdom he has gained in this presentation.

An $8.95 lasagna buffet will begin at noon. Those interested only in the free presentation may arrive at 12:30 p.m. Reservations are requested by Tuesday (Sept. 16) at 2-2017.
