BUSINESS + EXECUTIVE COMMUNITY

Connect and contribute to our mission of growing leaders

ABOUT THE BEC


The Global Good Fund Fellowship strengthens the leadership capacity of social entrepreneurs to create a meaningful global impact. The success of this program relies on a diverse community of coaches and mentors that are committed to providing business and leadership expertise to accelerate the entrepreneurs’ impact. We have established the BEC – Business and Executive Community – to provide more opportunities for our global business and community leaders to deliver expertise to our entrepreneurs. This work will strengthen the social entrepreneurship ecosystem and further The Global Good Fund’s mission.

WHO SHOULD JOIN?


This community will be made up of GGF’s current Business Mentors and Executive Coaches, who are already working with our fellows and program participants, as well as Corporate and Business Partners who are looking to engage more meaningfully in our work. More specifically, the BEC is actively recruiting GGF supporters who can offer specific support to GGF’s social entrepreneurs OR have the means and network to significantly support the GGF community. That might include current business mentors, coaches, funding partners (corporate or foundation), board members, members of the Young Executive Committee, Members of the Women’s Giving Circle, those interested in getting more involved with our work.

WHY SHOULD I JOIN?


Network, share, learn, and give back on your schedule

We understand that our business community is busy and there are multiple demands on your time. By joining the BEC, you will be invited to participate in exclusive in-person and virtual networking events with industry leaders. You can network or learn from industry experts who are also committed to making a social impact.

As a member of the BEC, you will have the opportunity to share your knowledge and expertise with the next generation of thought leaders in ways that best fit your schedule.
