 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.
  Hosted in the ABC Home Community Space
 888 Broadway at East 19th Street, 10th floor

    Date: Thursday, May 21, 2009
