Corporate Consciousness. It is doing business in a more responsible, purposeful, entrepreneurial and environmentally friendly manner. It is returning to core business values, finding innovation in simplicity and remaining true stewards of ethical performance and practices. It is giving back to the surrounding community. It is a tried-and-true business concept, yet it is a renewed mindset. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Tulane Business Forum and what better way to celebrate this annual tradition than by examining new, innovative and non-traditional ways of doing business? The Tulane Association of Business Alumni and the Freeman School of Business at Tulane University are pleased to present the 2009 forum featuring representatives from the retail, real estate, health care, banking and energy industries. You won't want to miss these subject-matter experts describe how they are putting a new spin on the old way of doing business!

By attending the forum, CPAs can earn five Continuing Professional Education credits and PEs can earn five Professional Development Hour credits.
