ABOUT THE PROGRAM:

On March 11, 2020, all eyes were on Oklahoma City when a member of the visiting Utah Jazz tested positive for COVID-19 just before tip-off. The arena was filled with fans. Players were on the court. What happened next was a lesson in ethics on a big league scale. Join us to learn from a Thunder executive about ethical leadership when the stakes are high.
