Finally we were done with the Rotman NetImpact Leadership Conference yesterday. For those of you who don't know what NetImpact is- Net Impact is an international nonprofit organization whose mission is to make a positive impact on society by growing and strengthening a community of new leaders who use business to improve the world. I was in the organizing committee leading the external communications for the schools for this year's conference.
This year we had the CEO of Microsoft Canada, Phil Sorgen delivering the Key Note address. Phil threw some important aspects regarding the how CSR has changed over the years-from monetary part to the service part- from donating money to giving services such as computers, windows softwares and access to MSN webpage for advertisements. At the other end was the beneficiary, Tom McAllister, CEO, KidsHelp Phone, an organization which receives large funding from Microsoft. Tom talked about KidsHelp Phone's help to children and how Microsoft's funding has helped them to reach out more children.
On a side note, one thing what I learnt from Phil was how to speak. He was so dynamic and convincing that after hearing his speech, your impression about Microsoft would increase. Hope to be a part of such good events in future also.
