Social(k) President Rob Thomas

(CSRwire) SPRINGFIELD, MA – April 15, 2008 - The president of Social(k), the nation's most diverse socially responsible retirement platform, will speak at the All Things Organic(TM) conference and trade show at the Chicago, IL McCormick Center on Saturday, April 26, 2008 from 2:15-3:15 p.m.

Rob Thomas will speak at the "Protecting Your Assets" seminar and will address topics ranging from what socially responsible retirement investing means, to how to make sure the funds you invest in are actually socially responsible funds, and the increasing interest on the part of companies and employees alike in investing their retirement dollars in socially responsible funds to match their values with their investments.

Less than one-third (32%) of employees have access to socially responsible funds as part of their retirement plans although more than two-thirds (68%) of employees say they would invest in such funds if they were available.

The Organic Trade Association offers Social(k) as the retirement benefit for its staff, as do numerous organic companies including Fresh Harvest Products (New York City, NY), Guayaki (Sebastopol, CA), Honest Tea (Bethesda, MD), Indigenous Designs (Santa Rosa, CA), New Resource Bank (San Francisco, CA), On the Mark Public Relations (Silver Spring, MD), Oregon Tilth (Salem, OR), and Sambazon (San Clemente, CA).
