Our mission is to become better informed ethically and to engage in meaningful discussion about the many complex issues of our time.

Welcome

The Hilton Head Ethics Society convenes on the first Wednesday of the months of October, November, February, March, April, and May to address ethical issues of concern to our collective well-being. For the 2024-2025 season we will meet from 2:00 to 3:30 in a classroom at USCB Hilton Head as assigned by the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI).
 
Each of our meetings features a presentation on a topic selected in advance by the Board of the Society (see the meetings page on this website). Our meetings are free-of-charge and open to the public. Controversial issues involve conflicting ethical principles, so due regard is given to arguments for and against the issues discussed. When possible, following the speaker’s presentation, a contrasting view is presented. In any case, a moderator directs the subsequent discussion and audience participation is encouraged.

Please consult this website for any changes and for further information as meeting dates draw near. Or, if you prefer, contact us through the website and our Communications Chair, Director Paul Weismantel, will add your email address to the list of possible attendees to be notified in advance of the meeting. 

Sincerely,
Gordon Haist, Director
