Why It Matters

The Future

This year, the Oikos Institute for Social Impact will once again recognize those in the Black Church and Historically Black Educational Institutions (HBEI's) that have innovative approaches to serving their community at our second Fishing Differently™ Impact Awards/Gala and Conference. Candidates are those who are using their spaces and places to make an impact in their community. Their properties are used to address issues of food insecurity, affordable housing, childcare, and recidivism or to create revenue and jobs. These are the types of projects that will be considered. We are looking for those projects that exemplify what it means to be Fishing Differently™ for social impact. We praise and celebrate those who share in our passion for this work. WHO WOULD YOU NOMINATE FOR A FISHING DIFFERENTLY™ IMPACT AWARD? Please share who you think meets these criteria and why in 200 words or less. All nominations are due no later than January 31, 2024. Pictured here: Rev. Dr. Abdul Knox (honoree), Rev. Dr. Denise C. Picket (honoree), Dr. Otis Moss III, Rev. Dr. Sidney Williams (co-founder of Oikos) , Rev. Jeremiah Wright (honoree), Rev. Dr. Reginald Blount (co-founder of Oikos), Rev. Demetrius Davis (honoree), Rev. Lisa Williamson (honoree), Richard Townsell (honoree) https://lnkd.in/eREMPNs9

This event is going to have global impact. If you're a security professional who cares enough to make the world a better place, I highly reccomend attending this conference (virtually if needs be), networking, learning and getting involved. #MakeHistory #security #safety #trust

Diversity is changing in a powerful way!

Today we honor Juneteenth, a day of remembrance and reckoning. As we celebrate today, let us also acknowledge the work still left to do in achieving equity for all. Our work isn’t done, and it starts with awareness. Learn about Juneteenth and its importance here! https://shorturl.at/Lw3Na

📣 Attention NABA Seattle Members!! 📣 Join UW for the 21st Annual Celebration of Black Alumni Achievement! The Celebration of Black Alumni Achievement (formerly Celebration of African American Alumni Achievement), was created by the late Dr. Thaddeus Spratlen, UW Foster Professor Emeritus of Marketing, to create a sense of community among Black alumni and students at the UW Foster School of Business. This celebration honors leaders within the Black community and raises funds to support the Association of Black Business Students (ABBS) Scholarship and African American Heritage Endowed MBA Scholarship. This is the only event at the Foster School specifically dedicated to raising funds for this critical need. While this event is geared towards UW Foster's Black alumni, students, faculty, staff and corporate partners, all who are committed to supporting and increasing racially diverse business and academic populations are welcomed. Business attire and comfortable shoes is highly recommended as this will be a networking atmosphere. However, limited seating will be provided throughout the room. Heavy hors d'oeuvres and a hosted bar will also be provided. (Government issued ID is required for 21+ bar service) Please DM Tai Moultrie, CPA, MBA before close on business Wednesday, February 7th should you want to attend as registration is limited.
