The Women's Forum for the Economy and Society Conducts Panel at Euro RSCG Worldwide - London
LONDON, August 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Thursday, executives from Euro RSCG Worldwide, including Mercedes
Erra, Executive President, and Kate Robertson, Group Chairman, are hosting
renowned French philanthropist and entrepreneur Aude de Thuin, as she leads a
panel of esteemed women business leaders in a discussion of global economic
and social issues, and the role that women play in these matters. This is the
sole London stop on Aude de Thuin's tour of international cities to raise
awareness of the Annual Women's Forum on the Economy and Society, which takes
place on 6th September 2007. Aude de Thuin will present the main issues to be
covered at the 2007 Forum under the theme of "Building Trust in our
Societies."
Rated as one of the world's top four global events by the Financial
Times, the Women's Forum is a private, global initiative meant to elevate the
ways in which women can contribute to improving business, politics and
society in a more balanced and recognized way. With 1,000 leading figures
representing more than 60 countries, it has become -- in only two years - a
unique international gathering that is held every October in Deauville,
France.
Mercedes Erra, Executive President of Euro RSCG Worldwide, says" We are
convinced that women must have a key role in the evolution of the world, and
this conviction lead us to build a partnership with the Women's Forum for
Economy and Society to enable women's voices to emerge in both the economic
and social arenas."
While attending the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum a few
years ago, in Davos, Switzerland, Thuin observed that a vast majority of the
speakers were men. She then decided to found the Women's Forum to address
many of the same global issues, but from a decidedly different perspective.
Regarded by some as a feminist, Thuin insists that she doesn't quite fit
the definition. "Rather than focusing solely on women's issues," explains
Thuin, "I am dedicated to global issues that affect all citizens, male and
female. The Women's Forum is a call to women around world to become involved
in global issues and make their voices heard, for a more complete dialogue."
