Further to my earlier post about the Reuters Newsmaker event on November 9 (this Thursday), I’m happy to announce that two Caribbean citizens (two Trinidadians, incidentally) will be among the featured bloggers at the event: Attillah Springer, wearing her Rights Action Group T&T hat, and Karel McIntosh, who maintains the Caribbean Public Relations weblog (see their bios at the Reuters event page) will be seeding the discussion with provocative commentary via their blogs and very likely on the live chat as well.
Rebecca MacKinnon has just posted an announcement for the event over at Global Voices, encouraging bloggers to tag their posts with “CSR” and participate in the live chat, and also emphasising a point I’d touched on in my earlier post:
Your participation will bring some badly-needed perspectives from developing countries and non-Western nations.
Your participation is especially important because if you click on the event web page, you will see that the panel of speakers is, well, not exactly the most geographically, economically, or ethnically diverse panel we’ve ever seen – to put it mildly.
I see my pal Jeremy Taylor, enviably on the ball as usual, has already posted “The Responsible Executive’s Manifesto“, and I’m sure many of you out there have plenty to say on the subject as well.
So if you’re planning on blogging on corporate social responsibility or related subjects over these next few days, please tag your posts with “CSR” (or send me an e-mail and I’ll have your blog added to the reblog feed that appears on the Reuters page). And please join us this Thursday, November 9 at 6:30pm EST (7:30pm Atlantic Time / 23:30 GMT) for the live chat.
