AFTER WORSHIP: Trillium Investments on Fossil Fuel Investing: Please join us today at noon for a presentation and conversation with Cheryl Smith from Trillium Asset Management, the firm that manages Church of the Covenant's financial portfolio. Cheryl will speak to us about their guidelines for investing and fund management, how this links in with Church of the Covenant's mission, and how we can be a part of the conversation around values, mission, and finances. In connection to our church's support of an overture to the Presbyterian Church General Assembly in Detroit 2014 around the movement on Divestment from Fossil Fuels, Trillium will speak to us about their options for fossil fuel free investing.
