More about the Speaker:
 
Ms. Brady has been living and working in China in senior leadership positions both in the corporate and nonprofit sectors for nearly 30 years.  From 1984 to 1998, within what later merged into Groupe Schneider, she served in the capacities of Vice President of China Business Development, Country Manager for Greater China Operations, and Director of North Asia Operations where, among other accomplishments, she grew the company's China automation market share faster than any other foreign competitor.  Starting in 1993, Sabina began her involvement in a wide range of philanthropic and outreach activities for non-profit, civil sector organizations in China -- focusing her efforts primarily in the areas of education, public health, and organizational capacity building.  From 1998 onwards, she left the corporate world, and devoted herself full-time to working in the country's evolving non-profit sector.  And these endeavors include serving as the first China Country Director of the William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation, advisor to the Ford Foundation's International Fellowship Program, co-founder of the Western Academy of Beijing, China's first foreign-operated private non-profit international school and founding board member of the China Education Initiative, a Chinese equivalent of "Teach for America."
