Thanks to those of you who joined us for Swamp Ethics at Vestas yesterday afternoon. Melissa teed off the event by detailing some of the recent actions by federal officials that have caused ethical concerns in the wider community. We appreciate the engaging conversation that followed between ethics professionals Steve Johansen and Theodore Reuter as we examined the ethical boundaries for licensed lawyers acting as government officials in Oregon. Thanks to those in the audience that also contributed great questions into the mix! In case you missed it, we hope to have the event available for streaming online soon - stay tuned!
