Background:
CNN9s interest in the work of ICCR stems from a recent New York Times 
article on ICCR member Sr. Patricia Daly, OP. On August 1, a CNN camera 
crew visited ICCR9s offices in New York and filmed a staff meeting. Footage 
will be used in conjunction with an interview with Sr. Patricia Daly for an 
8-min segment.
ICCR is a leader in the movement for socially responsible investing. 
Members include over 275 faith-based institutional investors, including 
denominations, religious orders, pension funds, healthcare corporations, 
foundations, publishing companies, and dioceses. Their combined portfolios 
are valued at over $110 billion, giving members leverage at shareholder 
meetings.

Upcoming:
"Blueprint for Change:  Corporate Governance for the Future"
An ICCR seminar to discuss needed changes in corporate governance and the 
response of faith-based organizations to various corporate policies.
-  Thursday, September 19, 2002, 4:00 pm
-  The Lighthouse, Pier 61, Chelsea Piers, New York City

Sr. Patricia Wolf:
"More than any other sector, the corporate world determines the quality of 
the air webreathe, the water we drink, and the places where we live and 
work. ICCR believes that social and environmental values are also part of a 
company9s bottom line. Our seminar will explore these topics with some of 
the best professional minds from business and academia."
