Monmouth University presents “Ethical and Leadership Lessons from the Collapse of Enron,” on Thursday, February 12, at 6 p.m. in Wilson Hall Auditorium with guest speaker Sherron Watkins, known as the Enron Whistleblower.

Watkins is the former vice president of Corporate Development at Enron Corporation who alerted then-CEO Ken Lay in August 2001 to accounting irregularities within the company, warning him that Enron might implode in a wave of accounting scandals. She has testified before Congressional Committees from the House and Senate investigating Enron’s demise. She is co-author, along with prize-winning journalist, Mimi Swartz, of “Power Failure, the Inside Story of the Collapse of Enron.”
