Vantage Properties LLC CEO Signs On To SafeWork 2010

SafeWork Pledge: I am committed to addressing the issue of domestic violence in the workplace I recognize that domestic violence impacts my employees, my company and my business. Therefore, I pledge to take action, lead change, and raise awareness as a member of SafeWork 2010.

Congratulations to Neil L. Rubler, President and CEO, Vantage Properties LLC. Why I am congratulating him? Because he is the latest CEO to sign onto the pledge you see above -- a pledge to take action, lead change, and raise awareness of domestic violence as a workplace issue.

He joins the following CEOs that have already signed the Pledge:

Thomas J. Wilson, Allstate Insurance Company*

Louis C. Camilleri, Altria Group, Inc.*

Andrea Jung, Avon Products, Inc.*

Jens Bang, Cone, LLC

Mary Ann Scully, Howard Bank

Andrea Wong, Lifetime Entertainment Services*

William McComb, Liz Claiborne Inc.*

Steve Jacaruso, Le Sportsac

David B. Holl, Mary Kay Inc.*

Andrew R. Urban, Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky and Popeo P.C.

Dr. Robert Pearl, The Permanente Medical Group, Kaiser Permanente*

Emanuel Chirico, Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation

Neil L. Rubler, Vantage Properties, LLC

Lowell McAdam, Verizon Wireless*

*CAEPV Member Company

There is no financial commitment for signing the SafeWork pledge and becoming a member of SafeWork 2010. And those who do receive an awesome CEO Action Kit created by Safe Horizon with the assistance of CAEPV – and provided through the generous support of The Allstate Foundation. What could be simpler?

Companies can choose to act on the pledge in a way that works best for them, but the CEO Kit even provides SafeWork 2010 Action Steps to help! Some of the Action Steps are joining the Corporate Alliance to End Partner Violence (http://www.caepv.org/), strengthening workplace policies that address domestic violence, hosting education and training sessions, and distributing educational materials about domestic violence to employees.We hope to see 200 companies on this list by 2010!

If you would like to join us, contact Melissa Madzel at mmadzel@safehorizon.org. Maybe we will see your CEOs name on this list!
