We are excited to share the details of our last major event before the summer break!

Topic: ISO 26000 & Social Responsibility

Speaker: Michelle Mason, ASQ Managing Director

Date: Wednesday June 23, 2010

 

PLUS:  A presentation of scholarships

 

Is anyone wondering what can be done to encourage organizations and businesses to act in an ethically and morally responsible manner?  ISO, the International Organization for Standardization, is about to publish such a document. ISO 26000 is a set of guidelines to promote Social Responsibility in both the public and private sectors. Guidelines were developed with input from consumers, industry, labor, government and non-government organizations. These guidelines are in the final draft stage and are targeted to be published in 2010.
