“To mark the end of my chairmanship of the Accenture Corporate Citizenship Council (which I handed over to Adrian Lajtha in October 2007), I am asking you to help support VSO through the Discover Tanzania with VSO trip and the Building Better Futures Appeal; two projects that are nothing short of inspiring. I personally am very committed to VSO and I very much hope that you will join me in supporting these two great projects. I can guarantee that your involvement will be hugely valued by VSO and it will make a real difference to people's lives and livelihoods in Africa.”
- Vernon Ellis
Vernon formally retired from Accenture in 2003 but continued in the role of International Chairman until last year. One of his continuing responsibilities was to chair the Global Corporate Citizenship Council which oversees Accenture's global giving, pro bono and volunteering activities.
