In the spirit of the holidays, the e-Business SIG will host a panel
discussion on e-Giving. Discover one of the many alternative uses of the
Internet as e-Commerce gives way to e-Giving. The panel will explore the
different business models deployed to enable corporate and individual users
to make charitable contributions online. We will examine the interesting
technical aspects of the collaboration among non-profit charitable
organizations, corporate intranet sites and commercial retail sites. Come
and learn how users can shop wisely on the net and make year-end,
tax-deductible charitable contributions at the same time !

John Truscott grew up in England and studied engineering science at
University of Warwick. After graduating, he saw the goal of connecting
companies with their consumers as a fascinating challenge and pursued a
career in marketing. He spent 10 years working in advertising agencies in
London, including three years at the highly acclaimed Saatchi & Saatchi. He
then moved to Los Angeles to begin a 10-year stint with Chiat/Day
Advertising. His expertise evolved from developing advertising messages to
creating corporate turnaround campaigns for companies such as Taco Bell and
Jack In The Box. He joined Charitableway to help build a brand from scratch
and to give back to the community. Johns favorite nonprofit organizations
include the Round House Aquarium at the pier in Manhattan Beach, Calif.,
where his two young daughters first came nose to nose with a live fish, and
his local NPR station, which, after his family, is his closest companion
outside of work.
