Julia Ormond to Keynote Responsible Electronics 2017
The EICC is pleased to announce that human rights activist and actress Julia Ormond, the Founder and President of the Alliance to Stop Slavery and End Trafficking (ASSET), will be the keynote speaker at our Responsible Electronics 2017 annual conference in Santa Clara, California on October 17. As the UN's first and former Goodwill Ambassador against Trafficking and Slavery, Julia has traveled the world assessing solutions and challenges and has appeared as an expert witness before the U.S. Congress, the UK House of Lords, and globally for the United Nations, within the corporate dialogue space, across diverse and universal press outlets, on the global philanthropy circuit and to middle school youth and colleges.ASSET was the source, co-sponsor and organizer of the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act (TISC), which was passed in 2010 and came into law in 2012. ASSET also collaborated with Unseen UK to include and upgrade TISC in the Modern Slavery Act of 2015. ASSET works to identify and advance systemic solutions and funding to end slavery and empower public engagement, with an emphasis on improving the impact of corporate transparency through innovation and policy. ASSET is currently working on a data-driven, neutral transparency consumer tech interface.
Former U.S. Diplomat and Congressman Tom Perriello to Keynote CFSI Annual Conference
Former U.S. Diplomat and Congressman Tom Perriello to Keynote CFSI Annual Conference
Perriello has been the Special Envoy to the Great Lakes Region of Africa and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (2015-2016), the U.S. Special Representative for the Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (2014-2015), and a U.S. Representative for Virginia's 5th congressional district.
Moved by the terrible atrocities of Sierra Leone’s civil war, Perriello moved to West Africa in 2001 to support courageous women and former child soldiers, demanding peace and accountability for the worst warlords. He then served as Special Advisor to the Prosecutor of the Special Court for Sierra Leone that forced brutal Liberian dictator Charles Taylor to peacefully surrender power. Inspired by these advocates, Perriello continued supporting peace negotiations and transitional justice efforts in conflict zones around the world, including work in the Balkans, Darfur and Afghanistan.
In July 2015, Perriello was appointed as Special Envoy for the Great Lakes Region of Africa, where he worked to prevent mass atrocities and advocated for peaceful, constitutional transitions of power. Working in strong support of comprehensive negotiations led by Congo’s Catholic bishops, Tom’s diplomatic efforts helped to produce a historic New Year’s Eve agreement on Dec. 31, 2016, that lays out a path to the first peaceful transition of power since the country’s independence in 1960. While this roadmap has not yet been followed, the efforts continue to promote a historic constitutional transfer of power in the DRC and restore a path to sustainable development.
