Because people keep messing up, it should not be that difficult to follow the rules. Ethical decision-making is evaluating and choosing among alternatives in a manner consistent with ethical principles. Ethical principles are the fundamental ground rules of decision-making, not just factors to consider. We will discuss this concept and address a model to avoid unjust harm to yourself or others daily.\n \nDan Powers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker currently serving as the Chief Operating Officer for Children's Advocacy Center of Collin County in Plano and McKinney. He oversees all professional services offered to victims of child abuse and family violence and their non-offending family members. He has frequently testified as an expert witness in state and federal courts. He has also testified on several occasions before Texas legislative committees. He is the past chairman of the Texas Children’s Justice Act Task Force and is currently a member of the Texas Statewide Multidisciplinary Task Force. Dan is a nationally recognized speaker and expert in ethics and working with teams. \n \n1.0 Ethics for CCBA members (membership must be current)\n \nRSVP: Click on the registration link below.\n \nCOST PER PERSON: \n \nMeal is Complimentary to Members (Membership must be current)\n \nRSVP DEADLINE FOR A MEAL IS NOON, AUGUST 14 (Orders will not be accepted after the deadline). WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO RSVP FOR A MEAL ONLY IF YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ATTEND IN ORDER TO HAVE AN ACCURATE HEAD COUNT FOR FOOD.
