Garden City, NY, August 21, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Adelphi University welcomes Stephen B. Heintz, president of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, as he delivers the annual Hagedorn Lecture Series on Corporate Social Responsibility on Tuesday, September 22, 2009, at 6:00 p.m. in the concert hall of the Adelphi University Performing Arts Center (AU PAC), 1 South Avenue, Garden City, NY. The event is free and open to the public.
Mr. Heintz is a leader in both the nonprofit and public spheres. Prior to assuming his position with the Rockefeller Brothers Fund in 2001, he was the founding president of Demos: A Network for Ideas & Action, which advocates the strengths of American democracy. He was also the executive vice president and chief operating officer of EastWest Institute (EWI), where he championed economic reform, civil society development, and international security.
Mr. Heintz has extensive policy experience throughout Europe and the United States and helped draft and secure “The Family Support Act” to reform national welfare in 1988. An advocate for public well-being, Mr. Heintz has written articles that have appeared in the International Herald Tribune, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal Europe, as well as numerous other books and journals. His academic distinctions include graduating magna cum laude from Yale University.
The Rockefeller Brothers Fund was established in 1940 by the six children of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., with the purpose of maximizing results for charitable organizations. The fund has witnessed three generations of Rockefeller family involvement, and seven presidents have led the philanthropy thus far, including current president, Mr. Heintz. In 1999, the Fund merged with the Charles E. Culpeper Foundation of Stamford, Connecticut, bringing the total assets to approximately $670 million.
Since its inception in 2003, Adelphi’s annual lectureship series on Corporate Social Responsibility has enabled the University to invite prominent speakers to address pressing issues of the day. The series was made possible through a generous contribution from Horace Hagedorn ’01 (Hon.) and wife Amy Hagedorn ’05 (Hon.), and fits in with the University’s overall goal of creating a culture of conscience among students, faculty, staff, administrators, and local community members. Previous speakers include David Boies, Thomas J. Donohue M.B.A. ’65, Noreen Harrington ’81, Peter G. Peterson, Josh S. Weston, Arthur Levitt, and Eugene Ludwig.
