share_1Want to learn about a different way that you be an activist for the causes you and your grantee believe?

If you are not ready to divest of some of your traditional investments, take advantage of your power as shareholders by engaging in Shareholder Activism. Learn more about how organizations are utilizing their fiduciary responsibility to vote the proxies associated with their investment stocks. Join Bill Dempsey, Senior Vice-President & CFO at the Nathan Cummings Foundation, Julie Tanner, Board Member of the Interfaith Coalition for Corporate Responsibility (ICCR), and Rabbi Rachel Kahn-Troster, Director of Programs at T’ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights, to learn more about opportunities to promote Jewish values, including those of accountability and transparency, through shareholder proxies, resolutions and dialogues between shareholders, nonprofits and corporate managements.

Event Date: December 3, 2014 – 12:30pm to 1:30pm EST
