| What is CSR? |
I had an interesting conversation with Net Impact Austin advisor Sarah Cooke last week about the definition of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). She has embarked on a new project on how employees can shape their employers CSR strategies. One of the members of her team was tasked with creating a definition of CSR and they responded with something like "it's anything a company endeavors to do that doesn't effect the bottom line." |
| Net Impact Austin's New Board Members |
This last May we elected a new volunteer board to run Net Impact Austin. The new board members came together in June to start the arduous process of guiding Net Impact Austin in a new direction for 2010 and 2011. |
| CSL Consortium Kick Off |
On Monday, June 21st, the Net Impact Austin Professional Chapter teamed up with National Instruments to launch the Austin Corporate Sustainability Leadership (CSL) Consortium. |
| Scoop the Poop - a Good Fun! Initiative |
The issue was simple – how do we create something that gets Austinites thinking about the importance of picking up after their dog? |

Sarah Cooke, a Dell employee, went from a passive member of Net Impact to Founder of the Austin Professional Chapter after attending a NI National Conference and discovering thousands of people who – just like her – believed that work can be about much more than just getting paid. |
