The Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy Leads Celebration of International Corporate Philanthropy Day

On International Corporate Philanthropy Day, CECP convenes the fourth annual Board of Boards CEO Conference, hosted by The McGraw-Hill Companies. More than 60 leading CEOs and chairpersons will gather for the program titled, “Global Leaders: Confronting a Crucial Decision.” NBC’s Tom Brokaw moderates this important discussion with Jeffrey Immelt, chairman and CEO of GE, and Carlos Ghosn, president and CEO of Nissan, followed by conversation among all attendees on how companies can have the greatest sustainable impact through their philanthropy considering today’s economic climate. The record attendance of CEOs at this program demonstrates that in these troubling times, corporate-community relations remain high on the agenda. In early March, CECP will release an executive summary of the findings of the program, including the results of the day’s opinion polls.
