Exhibiting Tomorrow...

Just a reminder that I exhibit tomorrow at the event below. Say hi if you're there!

-----------

From the micro
to the macro:

An exploration of how our money
—through investing and taxes—
creates ripples;
and whether or not it supports
human rights and the environment

As a participant, you'll hear from two expert panels

• Leaders in the field of Socially Responsible Investment
• People with direct experience and perspectives on Business, Human Rights, and the environment.

You'll also have the opportunity to explore some areas in more depth in a smaller group. By the end of the day you will be empowered, and will have a clear direction on how you can personally take action against companies that don't align with your personal values.
