ECA President Marcelo de Andrade attended the 2006 Wealth & Giving Forum as a presenter and panelist on the topic of “Sustainable Development: Solutions That Pay for Themselves”. At this event, Dr. de Andrade addressed the concept of philanthropy and sustainable development, exploring ways in which philanthropists may give most effectively in support of the sustainability movement.

The Wealth & Giving Forum was founded in 2003 to promote greater generosity among individuals and families of significant means and to make more resources available for good causes. Through its semi-annual invitation-only gatherings, occasional programs, and publications, the Forum provides a thoughtful, private meeting ground for individuals and families to reflect with their peers on how to best allocate their wealth.
