Berkeley, CA - March 1, 2009 - TableTopics, Inc. (www.tabletopics.com), the creators of conversation starters sets with editions for adults, families, teens and kids - today announced their collaboration with the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship on a special set of conversation starters for the upcoming 2009 International Corporate Citizenship Conference being held in San Francisco, CA later this month.

"We see this partnership project with the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship as another terrific way for us to help inspire rich, stimulating conversations wherever they take place" says Cristy Clarke, founder and CEO of TableTopics. "We were thrilled to be asked to join in. Boston College is doing such great work in furthering the cause of corporate citizenship with industry leaders here in the US and abroad. It's our hope that this set of conversation starters will help executives take the very valuable conversation about corporate citizenship beyond the conference, back to their offices and share it with everyone in their organization."

"These days everyone has an opinion about the role of business in society" said Bradley K. Googins, executive director of the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship. "This new TableTopics set allows people to offer constructive thoughts on how companies can have a positive influence and perhaps provoke new ways of doing business."
