FREDERICKSBURG, Va. - When Rebecca Adamson took the podium to deliver two keynote speeches at an SRI in the Rockies conference in Albuquerque, N.M., last November, the occasion represented an opportunity that had been years in the making.
''They were very dynamic and well-received,'' said Bob Gough, of the Intertribal Council on Utilities Policy in Rosebud, S.D., and Native Wind in Boulder, Colo. ''It was good to hear them.''
''She'll tell you herself it's a culmination of her dream for 18 years,'' said Lisa Woll, CEO of the Social Investment Forum, the network of socially responsible investors that sponsors the SRI in the Rockies conferences. At the 2007 Albuquerque meeting, the forum hosted and helped to establish the Indigenous Rights Task Force of the Social Investment Forum, for Native people who are involved in socially responsible investing. Adamson delivered her first speech there, to an audience of 40 or so.
