NEW YORK (CNS) -- Laura Berry, senior vice president for philanthropic service for the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven in Connecticut, has been appointed the new executive director of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility. She starts June 4. The New York center, established in 1971, is a coalition of 275 faith-based institutional investors -- denominations, religious communities, pension funds, health care corporations, foundations and dioceses -- with combined portfolios worth an estimated $110 billion. It seeks to integrate social values into corporate and investor decisions so as to build a more just and sustainable society. "As a Catholic who has always been inspired by the deep faith and commitment to action expressed in interfaith work, this opportunity is a privilege," Berry said in a statement.
