Keynote speaker, Mr. David Shedd presents "Ethics and the Stewardship of Public Trust: Matching the Walk with the Talk." Mr. Shedd possesses nearly 33 years in the federal government as a U.S. intelligence officer including various high level positions in the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Council, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Defense Intelligence Agency. Mr. Shedd discusses his philosophy that ethics in government emerge from the need to constantly be mindful that any form of service is a call to action greater than oneself and is built around a strong sense of stewardship of resources - personnel, funds, and time management. He also shares situations from his extensive experience of gaps in ethics between "the walk and the talk" and a well-calibrated moral compass that rises above even legislated or policy standards for ethical behavior.
