Announcing the Distinguished Panel of Speakers for ICCR’s Annual Special Event

ICCR invites you to join us for a lively and provocative conversation as three eminent thought leaders from the disciplines of business, policy and faith offer their interpretation of the theme:

Enough is Enough: Reimagining Global Prosperity

Rinaldo Brutoco (Speaker/Panelist): Brutoco is Founder and President of the World Business Academy (www.worldbusiness.org), a non-profit business think tank with the mission to inspire and help business assume responsibility for the whole of society. The Academy explores the role and responsibility of business in relation to critical moral, environmental, and social dilemmas viewing it as their mission to “change business leaders' consciousness from self-service to servant leadership.”

Aneel Karnani (Speaker/panelist): Associate Professor of Strategy at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. Professor Karnani’s work focuses on exploring how firms can leverage existing competitive advantages and create new ones to achieve rapid growth. He has also written extensively on the role of the private sector in poverty reduction. Author of an 8/23 piece that appeared in the WSJ entitled “The Case Against Corporate Social Responsibility”. Professor Karnani argues that …” while companies sometimes can do well by doing good, more often they can’t. Because in most cases, doing what’s best for society means sacrificing profits.”

Rabbi Rachel Kahn Troster (Speaker/Panelist): Rabbi Kahn-Troster is the Director of Education and Outreach for Rabbis for North America, where she coordinates campaigns against human trafficking and against U.S.-sponsored torture, and educates the Jewish community about the connections between Jewish values and human rights. Ordained in 2008 from the Jewish Theological Seminary, where she served as President of the Rabbinical School Student Organization, Rabbi Kahn-Troster serves on the boards of the National Religious Campaign Against Torture and Hazon, the Jewish sustainable food movement and is a frequent contributor to the Jew and the Carrot.

Darren Gersh (Moderator): The Washington Bureau Chief for PBS’ Nightly Business Report, Gersh brings out the human element shaping complex economic trends. Darren has reported extensively on global and national economic issues and has interviewed leading economic thinkers and decision makers ranging from then-Federal Reserve Board Governor Ben Bernanke to Speaker Dennis Hastert, Treasury Secretaries Robert Rubin, Larry Summers and John Snow. A specialist in the emergence of China as an economic power, Gersh’s coverage includes stories which helped NBR win an Emmy.

As has been true for over two decades, this event will bring together over 300 leaders from our ever-growing coalition of investors, asset managers, corporations and CSR advocates. A reception with food and open bar will follow. Kosher and Halal vegetarian options will be available.
