 Anthony was selected to serve as the speaker at the annual Hull College of Business “Russell A. Blanchard Distinguished Lecturer in Ethics Series” and delivered an outstanding lecture on moral leadership. He was engaging, enthusiastic, and dynamic which captured the attention of Augusta University students and members from local business community. His expertise and ability to connect with the audience left the audience pondering their personal ethics and the role of ethics in their leadership positions. I highly recommend him for all audiences.
