Beta Alpha Psi Leadership Award
Sponsored by EY
The final report is due by Friday, April 25, for chapters notified of receiving implementation funds. See the "Eligibility" section below for details.
Overview
A work environment that encourages the participation of a broad range of perspectives is critical to global business success. At EY, we understand the value of a workplace that welcomes and values every contribution. We believe that effective teams thrive when they bring together individuals with a wide range of experiences and viewpoints, and that successful leaders know how to guide teams composed of varied perspectives.
Through the EY Leadership Award, we asked Beta Alpha Psi members: Are you ready to help us build a better working world by harnessing the power of a broad range of perspectives?
