Colombia Sigue en el Camino de Responsibilidad Social
by Abby Flottemesch, Friday, Jul 17, 09

El 24 a 26 de junio, El Segundo Encuentro de Responsibilidad y Desarrollo Social, Colombia Responable se acaba de desarrollar en Bogotá con un balance que dista mucho de ser positivo. Como muchas iniciativas, la idea era buena pero faltó la fuerza para lograr el impacto que esperaba.

Como parte del equipo de la Fundación Saldarriaga Concha y Becaria de Atlas Service Corps, tuve la oportunidad de participar como presentadora y asistente. En mi opinion, fue una oportunidad de conocer que está pasando en Colombia en las áreas de responsibilidad social pero, de acuerdo con los críticos, no me impresionó tanto. Lo más importante es que Colombia se vaya creciendo su compromiso con responsibilidad social (me dice que este año fue mucho mejor que el año pasado).

Aquí colgue la impresión de un participante:
