(Community Matters) Flew to NY today to join Convio at the NASDAQ bell ringing tomorrow and for their Wall Street Service Day which EF helped organize.
Lunch with Concern Worldwide’s Sir Dominic MacSorley and US finance manager, Mick Dyson to get updated on their Haiti programs and opportunities for HelpHaiti future investments. Later, tea with their development director, Rosemary Sicilano, at my hotel, Loews Regency (a priceline find for only $200).
Met with Ken Melhman during the afternoon. Ken, former RNC chair, came out earlier this year, is being criticized by many in the community for his role in the RNC which used gay marriage as a wedge issue, and recently raised $1.3mm for litigation to repeal California’s Prop 8. As I’ve noted, I personally think we must welcome men & women into the community as they pass through their closets. I’m looking forward to working together, across the political aisle for LGBT equality. (btw, cool view from his office – pic above).
