SBGE Initiative on PRME and SDGs

SBGE’s Initiative on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Join us via Zoom for a conversation with Dr. Richard Dadzie and Dr. Kim Sawers, co-chairs of SBGE’s DEI Committee. They will be highlighting the work of the committee, including both their discoveries and their goals around DEI.
CENTER FOR FAITHFUL BUSINESS and Faith&Co
Please join us via Zoom for the opportunity to hear about the future of the Center for Faithful Business, formerly the Center for Integrity in Business, with Dr. Jeff Van Duzer.

SBGE’s VALUE PROPOSITION
Our own Denny Meadows will be facilitating our discussion and I’ve included her personal invitation here:
As EAB members, we already believe in the value of an SBGE education. Now how can we improve the way we communicate SBGE’s value beyond our campus – to prospective students and families, to employers and community partners, to current and potential donors, and to our Seattle neighbors at large?
During our Fall Luncheon, EAB members will be invited to participate in identifying, articulating, and refreshing our SBGE “value proposition.” This will be a fun, interactive meeting that will surely deepen your appreciation for SBGE’s special role in the Seattle community.
Your input may even turn the key to unlock even more of SBGE’s potential for impact.
Join us on October 22, 2020!
THE LUNCHEON WILL BE HELD VIA ZOOM
Please join us!

AN EAB WORKING MEETING!
The EAB Initiatives introduced in January 2019 have launched with good success. During our Fall Luncheon, leaders from each EAB Initiative will provide the larger membership with their progress and provide talking points for group discussion. Each Initiative team is seeking input on their work to positively impact SBGE and SPU as a larger community.
The EAB is seeking additional members. If you would like to extend an invitation to those you know who may be interested in the work of the EAB, please do. This may be a good meeting to help them grasp the array of EAB activities and see if they would like to have the opportunity.
Please be mindful of our ongoing effort for diversity in knowledge, experience, gender, race, and age. Currently we hoping to build out expertise in Accounting, Data Analytics, Global Development, Macro Economics, Quantitative Analysis, Public Policy and Entrepreneurship

It’s a working lunch in UPPER GWINN on the SPU campus.
The Leadership Team will introduce several EAB Initiatives to the larger EAB membership. The initiatives include 2 focused on SBGE’s identity and market differentiation and 2 with infrastructure components. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.
In the weeks after the Winter Luncheon, the Executive Leadership Team and Dean Ross Stewart will follow-up with a series of on-line meetings for EAB members to discuss each of the components in greater depth.
Our goal is two-fold: to more actively engage each of you who have graciously offered your expertise and to promote SBGE’s growth and development into the future with these specific initiatives.
