Social Venture Network's Ambassador Program

The Ambassador Program is part of the Bridge Project, a comprehensive effort to diversify the socially responsible business movement from the inside out. The Bridge Project encompasses our long-term commitment to raise the profile and voices of diverse entrepreneurs increasing their access to financial and human capital, and bringing diverse opinions, insights, and experiences to SVN’s community and the socially responsible business movement.

In 2011, Social Venture Network assembled a group of 12 members to serve as Bridge Project Ambassadors who were selected based on their established connections with the Bridge Project’s target communities (next generation, women and entrepreneurs of color) and their steadfast commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equity. Based throughout the country, these dynamic business leaders play a key role in expanding SVN’s reach and identifying and recruiting a new wave of talent and innovation to SVN’s entrepreneur community.

For more information regarding the Ambassador Program, please contact Erin Roach, Director of Recruitment and Marketing at erinr@svn.org.
