Press Release Summary: Marianne Jennings, a professor of legal and ethical studies
in business at Arizona State University, will share wisdom for practical ethical
issues at the 6th Annual NPSA Conference.

Press Release Body: KANSAS CITY, MO. (September 1, 2008) – It\'s been more than six
years since high-profile corporate scandals rocked Corporate America, yet there
hasn\'t been much change in reducing the risk of unethical behavior at U.S.
companies, according to the Ethics Resource Center\'s (ERC) National Business Ethics
Survey.

\"The good news is that the rate of misconduct is cut by three-fourths at companies
with strong ethical cultures, and reporting is doubled at companies with
comprehensive business ethics programs,\" said ERC President Patricia Harned. ERC
helps organizations design and measure the strength of their culture and the
effectiveness of ethics programs.

The National Portable Storage Association (NPSA) has a strict code of ethics for its
members, and encourages containerized storage vendors to uphold the highest business
standards. That\'s why the NPSA, a nonprofit membership association dedicated to the
advancement of the portable storage industry, is offering a workshop on business
ethics at its 6th Annual Conference and Exposition at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas
from October 26-28.

Marianne Jennings, a professor of legal and ethical studies in business at Arizona
State University, will offer her insights into business ethics and how to establish
an ethics culture in your company.

Jennings is well-equipped to impart sound wisdom on the practical application of
ethics. She served as director of the Joan and David Lincoln Center for Applied
Ethics from 1995-1999. Jennings earned her undergraduate degree in finance and her
J. D. from Brigham Young University. She has worked with the Federal Public Defender
and U.S. Attorney in Nevada and has done consulting work for law firms, businesses
and professional groups including Dial Corporation, Motorola, Southern California
Edison, the Arizona Auditor General, the Cities of Phoenix, Mesa, and Tucson, the
Institute of Internal Auditors, AIMR, Motorola, Hy-Vee Foods, IBM, Bell Helicopter,
Amgen, and VIAD.
