Dear Friends and Colleagues:

I am pleased to inform you about ICCA's 2nd International Conference on “Globalization and the Good Corporation," which is scheduled to take place in New York on June 26-28, 2007. I have enclosed a copy of the preliminary program announcement for your reference and use.

The conference attendance will comprise of four groups in almost equal proportions. These are members of the academic community, business and industry groups, civil society organizations, and international financial and development institutions. Another important feature of the conference is our emphasis on bringing in representatives of NGOs from poorer developing countries who have first-hand experience in working in
the “trenches” but are seldom able to share their experiences with others because of financial constraints.

The success of this conference depends almost entirely on our ability to engage the largest members from our four groups of stakeholders. This engagement entails (a) initiative and support in organizing conference logistics, and (b) participating in the creation of a most innovative and high quality program content.

We have already received indications of support from a number of colleagues and friends who had participated in our 2004 conference. As a matter of fact, a number of major academic and professional journals have agreed to publish special issues of their respective publications based on a selected group of papers presented at the conference. These include: Journal of Business Ethics, Business Ethics Quarterly, Business & Society
Review, Journal of Transnational Corporations (UNCTAD, Switzerland), and Corporate Governance (UK). These journals had also participated in our first conference, which took place in 2004. Discussions are also underway with three additional academic/professional journals to devote special issues based on selected groups of papers presented at the conference.

With this communication, I urge your support of the conference. I would be very grateful if you would please take a few minutes to complete and return via email a short questionnaire. This would be of great help to us as we organize our administrative and program planning structure in different parts of the world.

Thank you once again for your assistance and cooperation in this matter. Please feel free to contact me with any comments or observations pertaining to any aspect of the conference.

I look forward to hearing form you.

Best regards,
Sincerely,
S. Prakash Sethi
President
