DESCRIPTION:The Women's Environmental Network is delighted to invite Tom Van Dyck, 
 Senior Vice President and Financial Consultant in the SRI Wealth Management 
 Group of RBC Dain Rauscher, and Patricia Jurewicz, Associate Director of 
 the Corporate Social Responsibility Program for As You Sow, to present to 
 WEN members on the topic of Socially Responsible Investing (SRI). The 
 presentation will start with a brief history of the development of SRI, 
 including the role of Bay Area activist groups like Rainforest Action 
 Network and As You Sow Foundation, which Tom co-founded in 1992. As You Sow 
 is also a leader in shareholder advocacy. Notable shareholder campaigns 
 have focused on changing industry practices to more sustainable use of 
 environmental resources and human capital such as: promoting sales of 
 sustainably harvested wood at large hardware stores (Home Depot and Lowes); 
 promoting codes of conduct for contract suppliers in the retail industry 
 (Disney, Gap, Nordstrom, Nike and Wal-Mart); promoting e-waste recycling in 
 the computer industry (IBM, HP, Dell and Apple); and promoting increased 
 recycling of paper and PET plastics (Staples, Office Depot, Time Warner, 
 Scholastic, Coke and Pepsi). After this introduction, the presentation will 
 focus on the growing importance of Socially Responsible Investing for 
 individuals, non-profits and other institutions. Do you think SRI involves 
 a decrease in returns? Do you know the best ways to involve yourself and/or 
 your organization in SRI? Are you up-to-date on mutual fund options, 
 "mission specific investing," and clean tech venture capital opportunities? 
 Tom and Patricia will touch upon all of these topics and more. Come with 
 questions! \n\nAppetizers and wine will be provided by WEN.\n\nBuy tickets
