EM Ball London – Call for Committee Members
Organizers of the London EM industry ball continue to seek volunteers to plan the 2013 event. The event will be held in Autumn 2013, with a venue to be confirmed shortly.
Last year, the annual London benefit raised over GBP 250,000 (US$415,000) for EM charities. Funds from that event are being disbursed to:
Children of the Andes, www.childrenoftheandes.org, which supports street children in Colombia;
Cotlands, www.cotlands.org, which provides support for children affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic in South Africa;
Downside Up, www.downsideup.org, which provides support and education for children in Russia with Downs Syndrome;
EMpower, www.empowerweb.org,a grant-making foundation which connects the Emerging Markets community with innovative grassroots organizations enabling young people to lead healthy, productive lives; and
Health Poverty Action, www.healthunlimited.org, which provides basic health care to rural communities around the globe.
Any member of the EM industry who would like to be involved in planning the 2013 event is welcomed. Please contact Clare Turnbull of Nomura at clare.turnbull@nomura.com or Jonathan Murno of EMTA at jmurno@emta.org for more information.
