Our March Fair Trade Panel featured:
René Geneva: René is founder and design entrepreneur of René Geneva Design. The company offers eco-chic, ready-to-wear apparel. From certified organic fabrics to fair trade labor, every aspect of the business is eco (and human) friendly. It is important to René to promote sustainability at every touch point beginning with the earth, throughout production, and delivery to the consumer.
Bob Cash: is the Liaison for the Texas Fair Trade Campaign, an affiliate of the Citizens Trade Campaign (http://www.citizenstrade.org).

Aswini Sivaswamy: Aswini is founder of SESA Teas, which supports a better living condition for workers on tea estates in India.  Programs such as free housing and healthcare improve the livelihood and support the wellbeing of people who help produce SESA products.
