A good friend of ours, Jenn Halweil, along with two colleagues, Yusuf Simonson and Holly Hardison, are participating in a competition, Citizen Act, to create a bank that will benefit strong and powerful women. The name of their team is Contribution Globale.
Their mission is to empower female entrepreneurs to build strong businesses, strengthen family ties, and cultivate sustainable communities. Their idea, RoseLeaf, is a social network and banking initiative to foster mentorship, encourage collaboration and develop a variety of tools to address the particular concerns of female leaders. Both oppressed women in need of empowerment and strong women who inspire will benefit from Citizen Act.
The following is a message from Contribution Globale:
“Our team, Contribution Globale, is taking part in an international business competition know as Citizen Act. We are competing for the opportunity to make our vision of the socially conscious bank of the future a reality. Hosted by Société Générale, a banking network headquartered in Paris, France, whose focus is on promoting Corporate Social Responsibility, this Wiki-Blog is designed to demonstrate our idea, known as RoseLeaf, and receive feedback from people like you world-wide. We encourage you to comment, suggest ideas, and ask questions, so that we may work together to build the bank of tomorrow!”
