Buie Seawell came to Dickinson

The Strom Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation hosted Buie Seawell, a professor at the University of Denver, attorney, and former Colorado Democratic Party figure on Thursday, August 21, 2008. He was born in North Carolina, the son of the state’s former Attorney General, Malcolm Buie Seawell. Buie Seawell earned a bachelor’s degree from Davidson University and a master’s degree in Theology from Richmond, Virginia’s Union Seminary, after which he served as a Presbyterian minister in Alabama and North Carolina.

Here is what Buie has to say about his seminar:

In a period of unparalleled social, economic and political change effective leadership is no longer an elective, it is a necessity.  From the community to the international levels of governance and commerce our times cry out for leaders who are both trustworthy and effective.  Buie Seawell, Chair of the Department of Business Ethics and Legal Studies, at DU’s Daniels College, has spent a lifetime in public and academic leadership.  The community meeting focused on “Values Based Leadership for Community Leaders.”  Three broad topics were addressed: (1) change and transition, (2) values and ethics, (3) trust and community.
