I’ll enter the New York Festivals Purpose Awards any day of the week. A business with purpose is great. But what’s even greater is the purpose of business: To benefit the world around us. That’s not altruism. It’s interdependence. Because what’s good for people, for the environment, for ecosystems, for communities —that’s good for business. We’ve forgotten that, somewhere along the way. And it’s time to remember. Our chaotic, unpredictable world needs help now more than ever. And business has more power to influence positive change than any government, any NGO, any grassroots campaign. Purposeful business practices, acting ethically, focusing on sustainability—these aren’t add-ons. They’re integral to the bottom line. Business can make money by solving the world's problems. I focus on logic and magic. And mainstreaming sustainability across audiences. Not just to create a business with purpose. But because the greater purpose of business ACTIVATED is everything. #creativitymatters New York Festivals Scott Rose #purposedrivenleadership #purposedrivenmarketing #brandpurpose #creativeawards #creativity

Thank you so much for the partnership Washington Workforce Association for your work to advance the Community Reinvestment Plan Workforce Strategies that are making an impact. State-Funded IDAs (Individual Development Accounts): Washington’s Community Reinvestment Project (CRP) reintroduces state-supported IDAs, offering low-income individuals matched savings up to $10,000 for education, homeownership, and business development. Similar to investments in neighboring states like Oregon and California, enhancing economic mobility and stability by providing essential financial tools to build long-term assets. Focus on Underemployment: The CRP and Poverty Reduction Workgroup are driving a shift in Washington’s workforce system to address underemployment alongside unemployment. Programs like the EcSA Career Accelerator provide financial incentives, job training, financial coaching, and asset-building opportunities, integrating diverse services to support long-term financial stability and prevent economic crises. Small Business Grant Program: Washington’s CRP launched its first Small Business Grant Program, focusing on equitable economic development for underserved communities. Engaging over 820 Black, Latine, and Tribal-owned businesses, the program offers grants, workforce development support, and subsidized training for hiring and skills development. Business Navigators assist with resources to drive operations growth, promote good-paying careers, and dismantle systemic barriers, fostering economic stability and job creation in historically marginalized communities.
