 NYWSE Presents: Sustainable Communities--The Local and Global Impact of
Fair Trade and Responsible Sourcing

Please join New York Women Social Entrepreneurs (NYWSE) on Thursday, May 21,
for a dynamic panel discussion on the local and global impacts of fair trade
and responsible sourcing.  As a society, we now hold an incredible
opportunity to create a conscious economy that supports social and
environmental justice for our global community.  This forum features leading
women social entrepreneurs who will share their insights and experience
on the guiding principles of fair trade, the pros and cons of certification,
and the state of responsible sourcing in the face of an economic downturn.
The event will be facilitated by Marisa Guber, curator/ shop manager abc
home&planet.  Panelists include:
Patti Carpenter: Carpenter + Co., President and Founder
Amy Chender: ABC Home, VP of Social Responsibility
Rebecca Kousky: Nest, Executive Director and Founder
Liz Wald: Etsy, Director of International Business Development
 Bring like-minded women colleagues and friends to ask questions, discuss
challenges, and share your ideas for enabling a fair and healthy world.

Organic Refreshments will be served.
