We are beyond excited to officially launch the Bold Path Entrepreneur Fellowship Program! Applications are now officially open. This two-year, full-time program will empower individuals from under-resourced backgrounds to pursue entrepreneurship as a viable career pathway following postsecondary completion. In collaboration with ECMC Foundation and the Education Impact Fund team, we're committed to supporting promising entrepreneurs who may not have the personal resources, family resources, or networks to raise capital at the earliest stage. We know that innovative ideas are abundant in all communities and are excited to provide the resources and guidance needed to build sustainable businesses. The Fellowship offers $120,000 of non-dilutive grant funding to students and recent graduates who have a high-potential existing business or promising idea that supports positive social impact. The pilot program application is now live for those in the greater Birmingham, Alabama area, and we are calling all aspiring entrepreneurs to apply! Please share this opportunity with your network! Let's pave the way for a brighter future together. Apply now: https://lnkd.in/eqju5cXr

Tuesday night, our team received recognition for becoming a finalist at the NACD DE&I Awards. For several years, NACD has celebrated and recognized forward-thinking boards that leverage the power of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) to enhance governance, create long-term value for stakeholders, and build innovative and inclusive boardrooms and workplaces. The NACD DE&I Awards Gala has become a cornerstone initiative, sharing boardroom best practices, experiences, and perspectives on the value DE&I offers to companies and governance. We are incredibly proud to be recognized for our efforts in promoting DE&I and look forward to continuing our journey towards creating a more inclusive and equitable future. #NACDAwards #DEI #ECMCGroup #InclusiveLeadership
