Ben Cohen
Co-founder of Ben & Jerry's, Ben Cohen has established himself as an energetic advocate for corporate social responsibility. In this speech to the Club, Cohen takes aim at the government for what he regards as its profligate discretionary federal budget spending. Cohen insists that the wellbeing of the nation's children continues to be neglected in the interest of perpetuating a system of "Pentagon waste."
