World\u2019s Largest Membership for Professional Learning and Expertise Convenes Social Sector Leaders at Innovative New Global Headquarters Designed by Clive Wilkinson<\/strong><\/p>\n

New York, New York; September 15, 2014<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 GLG, the world\u2019s largest membership for professional learning and expertise, on Monday celebrated its inaugural class of Social Impact Fellows at its new global headquarters in Manhattan. The GLG Social Impact Fellowship gives twelve promising nonprofit leaders access to one-to-one learning from GLG\u2019s 400,000 teaching members, without cost. These creative problem-solvers are among the most promising and gifted social sector leaders. The Fellowship allows them to move beyond the advice and mentorship typically provided by board members and donors.<\/p>\n

GLG convened the Fellows in New York today to learn from each other and from GLG\u2019s community of top professionals. The two-day summit and its Monday evening reception represent GLG\u2019s first major gatherings in its\u00a0new global headquarters<\/a>, designed by award-winning architect Clive Wilkinson, which opened for business midsummer. GLG\u2019s office is the first of its scale in the United States to embrace activity-based working, an innovative concept that eschews assigned personal workspaces for a more flexible and productive approach to work life.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mission is to transform the way the world\u2019s top professionals share expertise, learn, and make decisions. This vital one-to-one learning has been available to top professionals across the private sector, and now we\u2019re making it available to the best and brightest innovators in the social sector, where the need for learning is particularly acute, and the opportunity for innovation especially rich,\u201d said GLG President and CEO Alexander Saint-Amand. \u201cAnd we couldn\u2019t be prouder to start this new chapter in our new headquarters with these promising leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jen Field, Director of Social Impact at GLG, explained, \u201cThe 2014 GLG Social Impact Fellows were chosen from a diverse group of leading early-stage and growing nonprofits and social enterprises invited to apply and interview. The competitive selection process, which occurs annually, was based on organizations\u2019 missions and models and on applicants\u2019 articulation of how GLG\u2019s resources would help them increase efficacy and scale at key moments in their organizational growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Fellows have joined GLG\u2019s community of leading investors, entrepreneurs, corporations, and consulting firms, who learn every day from academics, current and former C-suite executives, scientists, policy specialists, former public sector leaders, and other professional leaders. Fellows and their teams work collaboratively with GLG teams to leverage the breadth and depth of the GLG network to inform their strategic decisions and increase their impact. GLG\u2019s total in-kind donation to the Fellows and their organizations is estimated at $1.5 million.<\/p>\n

The Fellows and their organizations tackle a range of social challenges around the world \u2013 from community health and entrepreneurship to extreme poverty in Africa and disaster response in the U.S. They are:<\/p>\n
