SmartStart CEO Meets President Clinton to Kick Off 'Get Fit to be Great' Campaign
The creator of the award-winning SmartStart Virtual Mentoring Program commits to raising $50M for the Clinton Global Initiative to help support developing GEN WEB into the next generation of leaders for global change.
Mississauga (PRWEB) November 14, 2007 -- "Accidental philanthropist" Linda Lopeke is an ordinary woman committed to doing extraordinary things. Like President Clinton, she promotes the values of "fairness and opportunity" for all. Unlike Clinton, her name does not immediately open doors or checkbooks. But that will not keep her from her mission: of service, giving, and making a difference in the world while keeping her promises to her GEN WEB students.
Clinton says, "As we look to the future, many of our greatest challenges can be overcome by the simple act of giving. With the power of the Internet, everyone has the unprecedented ability to change the world."
Lopeke agrees. That's why she's meeting the former President to recommend the work of Alex Mandossian.
Mandossian is the world's best and brightest master of virtual opportunity. Give him 3 minutes and he'll tell you his fundraising strategy at www.askbillclinton.com . He can get Clinton access to 10+million plus people simply sending an email to his virtual network. In 60 minutes Clinton can set a "Giving" record from the comfort of home while putting a new face on philanthropy.
"Young people want to succeed and are willing to work hard. But getting ahead has more meaning when there's a giving back component", Lopeke says. "Technology is the center of the GEN WEB world. Knock on that door and they will answer. Mandossian is the key that opens the door; there's no one better to assist Clinton in driving global change using the Internet. SMARTSTART is the vehicle that delivers it."
About the Clinton Global Initiative: Clinton started CGI in 2005 to help turn good intentions into real actions and results. CGI matches people with ideas and those with the means to see them through.
About Alex Mandossian: Alex Mandossian is the world's leading authority on leveraging the marketing power of the internet.
About SMARTSTART: The award-winning SMARTSTART Mentoring Program teaches "martial arts for the mind" and corporate social intelligence. Lopeke was inspired to create the innovative program by young people she met when speaking at the Queen's School of Business at the Queen's Leadership, Excellence and Development (QLEAD) 2005 Conference. She returns to Queen's November 24 to launch the "Get Fit to be Great" campaign to 2007/2008 QLEAD delegates.
SMARTSTART is accepting new members into the Virtual Mentoring Program on a first-come, first-served basis. Memberships starting at $197.00 CAD per year are available at www.smartstartcoach.com.
