Lead with Your Soul - Facing Ethical Dilemmas as Professionals

AKRON, Ohio - May 6, 2021 - PRLog -- The Akron Chapter of the American Advertising Federation (AAF-Akron) and the Better Business Bureau of Akron (BBB Akron) virtually host Wally Snyder, president of the Institute for Advertising Ethics, on May 13 at 5:30 pm (ET) for a discussion on the ethical dilemmas that advertising professionals face and how they can do the right thing in resolving these issues. Advertising is one of the most important businesses in the global economy and it is paramount for the advertising industry to practice enhanced ethics. Mr. Snyder will discuss how consumers value, expect and reward enhanced ethics in the digital marketplace.

He served as a trial lawyer and as assistant director for advertising practices at the Federal Trade Commission before joining the American Advertising Federation where he served as president and CEO, from 1992–2008.
