Dean Dirk Barram speaks on leadership at free business seminar
All of us have leadership qualities within us. What do they look like? How are they manifested in our actions? Why might this fact be both important, yet carry risk? Why is it seemingly undervalued?
These and other questions will be discussed at the School of Business’ Fall Speaker Series Event, “The Leader in All of Us; High Calling, High Risk,” featuring Dirk Barram, dean of George Fox’s business school. The presentation is scheduled from 7:30 to 9 a.m. Friday, Oct. 4, at the Portland Center.
Dirk is in his 27th year at George Fox. He worked at Hewlett–Packard in Palo Alto, Calif., as a division training and development manager prior to coming to the university. Since coming to George Fox, Dirk has served in a number of administrative capacities, including vice president for Academic Affairs (1992-1998) and undergraduate chair of the Department of Business and Economics (2002-2010).
There is no fee to attend the Oct. 4 event, and coffee and tea will be provided. To R.S.V.P. or to learn more, go to this page. Please sign up by Friday, Sept. 27. More information is also available by contacting Darla Norgren at dnorgren@georgefox.edu.
