This year’s keynote speaker will be Steve Demos. His work taking soymilk mainstream is legendary, as is the growth and influence of White Wave, the company he built with partner Pat Calhoun. Steve’s experiences and observations about the industry and socially responsible business will make for fascinating listening.
The SRBA has launched an educational website at sociallyresponsibleawards.org, which provides information on the event, including nomination criteria and nominee and sponsorship applications as well as a history of socially responsible business, lists of past SRBA winners, presenters and sponsors and a photo gallery.
Sponsorship positions are now available for the 2007 SRBA Breakfast, which aligns companies and organizations with other like-minded businesses in supporting socially responsible and sustainable business practices and creates community around these issues. Sponsorship also provides companies with a powerful opportunity to promote their own socially responsible and sustainable initiatives to the natural products industry through pre-event marketing and promotion, on-site and online recognition, and post-show, trade-media editorial coverage. Sponsorship does not preclude a company from consideration for winning the award.
