Report of Provo Rotary Luncheon Meeting May 24, 2012

Ricky Hood served has sergeant asking Rotary trivia.

Don Jarvis introduced today's speaker, Dr. Shane Schvaneveldt, Weber State Professor of Management and a graduate of the Goddard School of Business and Economics.

He spoke about the triple bottom line businesses now face, a paradigm shift in recent years: 1) financial responsibility, 2) social responsibility, and 3) environmental performance -- green sustainability.
An example of this is the introduction of a front-loading clothes washer which has positive social and environmental impact while having substantial positive impact on the financial bottom line. The paradigm shift extends toward green economical sustainability in all steps of production.

Our speaker this week was Sven Wilson, professor and chair of the Political Science Department at BYU.  Sven is also the visionary and founder of the Character First movement as highlighted on the Doug Wright show on KSL radio . For this week's meeting,  Sven focused his thoughts on rejecting the populist movement circulating in today's politics and spoke about the necessity of a strong leader who shows compassion and isn't afraid to admit when he or she is wrong. Just another way to keep politics civil and promote goodwill in all aspects of life.
