ImagineNations to Participate in Middle East CSR Summit
PASADENA, Md. (1 June 2005)—Rick Little, president and
CEO of the ImagineNations™ Group, will chair the 2nd
Middle East Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Summit to
be held in Dubai, U.A.E., on 5-8 June.
The summit will measure CSR strategies that are currently
being developed and implemented with a special emphasis on
the Middle East and North African (MENA) region. Prominent
decision makers and leading experts have been invited once
again to share their experience and examine the prospects and
challenges that lie ahead.
“I am delighted to participate in this 2nd Middle East
Summit,” said Little. “It is clear that the understanding
and practice of CSR has been steadily increasing. Some of the
new forms of corporate citizenship build on many of the oldest
Islamic traditions. And now today, in a region with one of
the highest rates of youth unemployment and other challenges,
it is more important than ever for corporations and business
leaders to model engaged citizenship and to join with their
communities as partners to make a positive and lasting impact.”
