"It was difficult to choose only ten winners from all the submissions we received from member companies around the world that are each making exceptional contributions to their communities, so these award recipients truly shine," said Rob Follows, chair of the Social Enterprise Networks (SEN) and member of the Corporate Social Responsibility Awards selection committee.
YPO members and graduates connect beyond their local chapters around shared business, personal and social enterprise interests through Networks. SEN is a grouping of different Networks that bring like-minded peers together to address community, philanthropic and humanitarian endeavors.
"One of the amazing benefits to being a member of YPO is the ability to join Networks like those in SEN that put you in touch with hundreds of business leaders who are making the world a better place and who are ready and willing to share their knowledge and experience," Follows remarked.
