Time: 7 AM registration/breakfast; 7:30am program

Location: Gettysburg Hotel, One Lincoln Sq. in Gettysburg, PA
 

The Gettysburg Adams Chamber of Commerce and Christian Business Men’s Connection present “When Good Leaders Lose Their Way” by Mark Whitacre. Whitacre came to public attention in 1995 when, as president of the BioProducts Division at Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), he was the highest-level corporate executive in U.S. history to become an FBI whistleblower. For three years (1992–1995), Whitacre acted as an informant for the FBI, which was investigating ADM for price fixing. In apparent retaliation for his role as an informant, ADM investigated Whitacre’s activities and, upon discovering suspicious activity, requested the FBI investigate Whitacre for embezzlement. As a result of $9.5 million in various frauds, Whitacre lost his whistleblower’s immunity, and consequently spent eight-and-a-half years in federal prison. Whitacre’s story inspired the film “The Informant,” which stars Matt Damon.
