CROA Convenes Corporate Excellence for Government Roundtable and CR Magazine Announces Best Corporate Citizens in Government Contracting list on June 30th

The American public demands increasing transparency and accountability from their government and the companies with which it does business.  President Obama has responded with an historic commitment to bring more transparency and integrity to the way his Administration conducts itself and how it interacts with its business partners.  In keeping with these principles, CROA is pleased to announce the creation of the Corporate Excellence for Government Roundtable with a breakfast session on June 30th presented in partnership with George Washington University’s Institute for Corporate Responsibility. Please join us for:

Corporate Responsibility Best Practices Webcast
9am ET on July 21st 2010 Online & at the
New York Stock Exchange

It's too bad Corporate Responsibility professionals have to make it all up as they go along.  Right?  Wrong.  There may not be a text book, but there are people who have traveled this road before you.  Earlier this year, the Corporate Responsibility Officers Association (CROA) and NYSE Euronext fielded the largest survey of corporate responsibility best practices ever conducted, sending surveys to every publicly traded company on the NYSE Euronext indexes.  650 companies responded.  Now you can hear from some of the best in one hands-on Webcast.

During this live and interactive Webcast you will access the data and hear from some of the largest, most responsible companies in the world hosted by the CROA and NYSE Euronext.  Public registration opens June 15th. 

To preregister please contact Vince Albergato.
