Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 16, 2007 -- Lynn Brewer, former Enron executive and author of "Confession of an Enron Executive: A Whistleblower's Story," will speak Feb. 12 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Brewer's talk is part of B-Week activities planned by students in the UNL College of Business Administration and will begin at 2:30 p.m. in the Lied Center for Performing Arts, 301 N. 12th St. It is free and open to the public and is sponsored by the college's Program in Business, Ethics and Society and Student Advisory Board.
During her nearly three years at Enron, Brewer was responsible for risk management in energy operations, the e-commerce initiatives for Enron's water subsidiary, competitive intelligence for Enron Broadband Services, and traded power in California markets. She will discuss her personal insight into the scandals that spanned her career at Enron, talk about her decision to blow the whistle, and discuss her fateful meeting with convicted CEO Ken Lay -- two weeks before his death. Brewer will provide a roadmap from Enron to the current risk landscape, showing listeners how likely they are to work for a company like Enron.
B-Week is an annual event sponsored by business students to enhance their knowledge of current business issues.
