The US-ASEAN Business Council is pleased to support Room to Read in a luncheon to discuss and explore ways corporations can give to children of Southeast Asia in order to create opportunities for them to pursue a quality education, reach their full potential and contribute to their communities. The program features John Wood, Room to Read Founder and Board Co-Chair, who left a lucrative career at Microsoft to found Room to Read, an award-winning nonprofit that promotes education, gender equality and literacy worldwide. The luncheon will be an excellent opportunity for members to learn about and explore corporate social responsibility opportunities within various educational programs that Room to Read is currently organizing at in Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Indonesia (coming up in 2014). John has been featured in Forbes, Time, Barron’s, Reader’s Digest, CNN, CNBC, Fortune, Parade, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, USA Today and others. He has been a guest on Oprah & Charlie Rose, and authored Leaving Microsoft to Change the World, and more recently Creating Room to Read: A Story of Hope in the Battle for Global Literacy.
