The Sport and Social Responsibility Summit

Jon Long heads up the Member Services and Corporate Affairs department at the International Cricket Council where he is part of the Senior Executive Team. After several years managing communications and media relations activity that included major events on five continents and team media management of the World XI, he has taken a lead role in developing ICC's service offering to its Member federations and enhancing stakeholder engagement.

From a social responsibility perspective he has been deeply involved in leading the ICC's long-standing partnerships with UNAIDS, UNICEF and the Global Media AIDS Initiative that, as part of the ICC Centenary in 2009, has become the global THINK WISE campaign. He also co-ordinates the ICC's activation of its commitment to cricket's Great Spirit which stretches from player education to an initiative to promote peace through cricket across the Indian subcontinent.

Jon has worked in sport throughout his career, supporting a number of small sports and editing football websites before joining the ICC in 2002. His current broad remit also includes research, education and training, anti-doping and sports science as well as leadership of several major strategic projects. A law graduate from the University of Nottingham, he has been based in Dubai since 2005 where he lives with his wife and two young children.
