Benefits of Joining the Leadership Council

In addition to the good they are doing in the world, members of the Leadership Council enjoy the benefits of aligning their companies to an impactful organization with a universal cause. Through heightened employee engagement, stronger corporate social responsibility programs, and opportunities for executive-level networking with peers within the sector, members gain as much as they give (or more!).
