In 1976 she became the general manager of Patagonia and in 1979, one of the first female CEOs in the United States . Patagonia is a socially-minded firm, and in 1984 began the first corporate environmental program in the United States by allocating 10% of its profits directly to environmental issues. In 2000, Ms. Tompkins sold her stock in Patagonia, and used the proceeds to establish Conservacion Patagonica, a foundation aiming to protect and restore critical habitats in the Patagonia region of the Southern Cone in South America . Since the founding of Conservacion Patagonica, Ms. Tompkins has helped purchase over 800,000 hectares of land in the Patagonia area to ensure that it cannot be developed.Dialogue Across Race: For Women, Bridging the Divide

https://webcafe.wharton.upenn.edu/eRoom/mba/wwib/0_7308cPenn's Annenberg Center presents: Beijing Modern Dance Company
DESCRIPTION: East meets West when Beijing LDTX Modern Dance Company makes its Dance Celebration debut for one night only with The Cold Dagger. Based on the Chinese game of Weigi and set to hauntingly beautiful music by American cellist David Darling, this explosive yet introspective full-evening work examines fear and confrontation. Dancers costumed in black and white, reminiscent of Chinese warriors, weave, dart and collide in a dazzling and thrilling display of traditional and contemporary choreography. The set, consisting of tae kwon do mats, resembles a chess game that moves and shifts, leaving dancers straddling between two worlds. "Audiences were in awe." – Tampa Tribune.
