Press Release Summary: It is vital for all professionals to explore ethics on a
daily basis as the lines become blurred across departments and over time. To help
faclities and real property managers uphold ethical business standards, BOMI
International is presenting an online webcast, Ethics is Good Business, starting
June 5.

Press Release Body: Businesses and individuals alike continue to meet their downfall
as a consequence of unethical practices, casting a shadow of doubt over the
country's business morals.

Relaxed lending standards in sub prime mortgage loans led to an industry-wide
financial crisis in late 2007, causing the collapse of several of the nation's
largest financial firms and leaving many Americans without a home. The constituents
of New York City experienced their own ethical collapse in March 2008, as Governor
Eliot Spitzer resigned after he was caught attempting to wire $10,000 to a
well-known prostitution ring based out of New York City.

While these instances may seem blatantly immoral, the line between right and wrong
often becomes blurred across departments and over time. That is why it is vital for
all professionals to explore ethics on a daily basis and to integrate moral
standards into the culture of their organization.

BOMI International, the educational leader for the property and facility maintenance
field for over 35 years, has designed a course to help professionals understand the
impact that ethical behavior has on performance and a company's bottom line. The
course gives students an understanding of ethical value systems and assists them in
identifying potential ethical challenges in the workplace.

During the instructor-led online course beginning June 5 and running until July 10,
students will learn that upholding recognized business standards through adversity
and resolving ethical dilemmas before they escalate can solidify an organization's
competitive and financial standing.
