2025 CPT Speaker Engagements

The NASBA Center for the Public (CPT) trust is honored to have hosted a number of insightful speakers at its events throughout 2025. With the launch of the CPT Speaker Series, there have been more opportunities than ever for students to connect with ethical leaders across all fields.

Students who attended the 2025 Student Leadership Conference in Philadelphia, PA, this June had the chance to hear from keynote speaker Jerry Minnigis, senior advisor at Centri Business Consulting, on how to make your assets exceed your liabilities. The conference also featured speaker Jenn Bouchard, chief people officer for Figure8, the parent company of the world-renowned and award-winning Museum of Ice Cream and Home Quart brands. She spoke about the importance of networking and gave advice on how students can maximize the professional connections they make.

The CPT hosted an engaging Q&A session with Kathleen Moore of Lewis Communications and Danielle Eben, head of partnerships and affiliates at Enova International, earlier this year at the University of Birmingham, Alabama. Moore covered ethics in marketing while Eben spoke about her role at Enova International. The Q&A session gave students the opportunity to dig deeper with the speakers on career trajectory and decision-making in the workplace.

The CPT created the Speaker Series to help inspire young ethical leaders by bringing living examples of ethical leadership to their schools and engagements. The team is always looking to explore potential future collaborations – if you or someone you know is interested in speaking to young professionals at colleges, universities and conferences, please click here to volunteer: https://cpt.secure.nonprofitsoapbox.com/volunteertospeak.
