Join us for a provocative and informative evening as Patricia Aburdene discusses how conscious capitalism is already transforming how we work, live and invest.

She will describe how and why socially responsible businesses are not only profitable, but are restoring the ethics and spirit of free enterprise. The 63 million people who are categorized as consumers with Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability ("LOHAS") are demonstrating that the market for value-driven commerce, like organic food and eco-tourism, is growing its influence throughout our society.

A question and answer period and book signing follows Patricia's speech.
