Panelists at LA’s inaugural Ethical Leadership Lunch praised Catholic education’s role in forming ethical leaders and discussed what “doing the right thing” means in a time when businesses face pressure to take positions on current events.
Held at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels’ conference center, the May 17 event was hosted by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and drew more than 500 people, among them local entrepreneurs and executives, ministry leaders, Catholic educators, and high school students.
Archbishop José H. Gomez and Father Jim Anguiano, vicar general and moderator of the Curia for the archdiocese, began with a prayer and greeting before a video message from event sponsor Farmers & Merchants Bank was shown.
