Speaker: Linda Williams
Date: Sep 24, 2007
Linda Williams is a co-founder of The Williams Institute for Ethics and Management (TWI), a nonprofit corporation established in 1993 to take ethics to a new level. The thoughts and concerns that led to the development of TWI were taking shape seven years prior to its actual creation. Linda was working in a policy position at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC, when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded on January 28, 1986, at 11:39 AM EST—73 seconds into its flight—killing all seven crew members. This moment stands out as a vivid experience that led many to “rethink” how we approach organizational decision making. Immersed in analysis related to questions of ethics surrounding the Challenger disaster until her resignation from NASA in June 1988, Linda decided to change direction in her career. She realized that her undergraduate and graduate degrees in business did not adequately equip her to make some of the tough decisions related to ethics. She returned to school in 1990 and earned a PhD in ethics and public policy from the Arizona State College of Law and Social Sciences with the intent to form a nonprofit corporation that could assist decision makers in addressing the kinds of ethical issues they are faced with every day.

Hmmm . . . I joined Rotary in January of 2001 and was secretary of the Phoenix Arcadia Rotary Club until I became the charter President Elect of Recswusa. (Do you know – that may be only ribbon I've never seen at a District Conference, "Charter President Elect".) I have spent a lot of time volunteering, especially in the last 10 years. These days I'm trying to volunteer smarter, not harder.
