Stanley will discuss leadership strategies that define and promote socially responsible businesses.

Before being named president of Duke in November 2006, Stanley served as vice president of the company’s Midwest field operations. He oversaw transmission and distribution and maintenance, substation construction and maintenance, customer service engineering, and electric outage response.
