SVII "First Wednesday"
Innovation Society Meeting
October 1, 2008
6:00 - 9:30 pm
Invite your friends and colleagues, and join us for
the SVII Innovation Society 2008 Series
Social Innovation - CSR in Action
Rossella Derickson and Krista Henley,
Corporate-Wisdom and CSR in Action
with Cecily Joseph, Symantec
Our inspiring feature presentation will guide us to integrate corporate social responsiveness (CSR) into the fabric of our work and our organizations. Our speakers, authors Rossella Derickson and Krista Henley will ask us to think out of the box about our products and services, to find ways to become responsive local and global citizens.
Studies show that professionals are more engaged when involved in purpose-driven initiatives that connect product and service to the greater needs of society. This engagement translates to our competitive advantage, inspiring us and driving solutions to global problems. This session will offer inspiration from Silicon Valley leaders, from the collaborative book and consulting practice CSR in Action. One of those Silicon Valley leaders, Cecily Joseph, will share with us her corporate journey to create Symantec's successful CSR initiative.
This program is sure to help you shape your own thinking about how to be an awakened and socially responsive professional and leader.
See you there!
