  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 20 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Senior Vice President, Public Policy 2 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Political Process What are the Verizon Good Government Clubs? and the government agencies administering the federal and individual state election laws.

  • 2012 CHC Awards Ceremony Event Program
    CONGRESSIONAL HUNGER CENTER Celebrate ~ Honor ~ Recognize The 2012 Congressional Hunger Center Awards Ceremony CELEBRATE ❖ HONOR ❖ RECOGNIZE ACCOMPLISHMENTS LEADERS OUR PARTNERS Thursday, June 7, 2012 U.S. Botanic Garden Fighting Hunger by Developing Leaders About The Congressional Hunger Center The Congressional Hunger Center (CHC) is a bipartisan, nonprofit organization, located in Washington, DC. We administer the Bill Emerson National Hunger Fellows Program and the Mickey Leland International Hunger Fellows Program, named in honor of these two late Congressional leaders who dedicated their careers to fighting hunger and poverty. The Fellowship programs are a unique leadership development opportunity for motivated individuals seeking to make a difference in the struggle to eliminate hunger and poverty in the U.S. and around the world. As a bipartisan organization, we serve as a center where the anti-hunger com- munity can discuss and implement creative policy solutions to end domestic and international hunger. CHC has created partnerships with Members of Congress, and Hill staff who focus on hunger and poverty, the Executive branch of govern- ment, private sector companies, foundations, and hundreds of hunger fighting organizations throughout the U.S. and around the world. Mission Statement CHC trains and inspires leaders who work to end hunger, and advocates public policies that create a food secure world. Vision Statement CHC is a leader in the movement to ensure access to food as a basic human right for all people. We create and nurture a community of innovative and inspiring leaders who act as change agents, bridging the gap between grassroots efforts and national and international public policy to provide access to nutritious, afford- able and culturally appropriate food.
