I’m very pleased to be hosting a conversation next Tuesday, October 14th with Deirdre White, President and CEO of PYXERA Global (and a profilee in the second edition of Working World). Deirdre is a renowned leader in the field of international economic development and will be speaking on the topic of “corporate volunteerism: the nexus between citizen diplomacy and development.”
In addition to its international development work, PYXERA is also the base for the Center for Citizen Diplomacy. I served as one of the founding board members of the Center and now am honored to continue as a board member of PYXERA Global.
For those of us who are unable to attend in person (I’m in NYC), are there any materials (transcript, etc.) that we can access?
Hi Jo, we don’t have a transcript, but I just posted my take on Deirdre’s talk, which I hope you’ll find interesting! http://workingworldcareers.com/2014/10/27/global-pro-bono-programs%E2%80%94a-focus-on-the-transfer-of-skills-not-the-forcing-of-solutions/
