Hey crew, it’s me again. I see you getting all cozy as you settle in for another holiday season….or perhaps travelling/vacationing to somewhere exotic. If you didn’t already know, OCE is constantly looking for ways to support your endeavors. And that’s exactly what’s been on my mind this holiday season – how to bring more meaningful opportunities to you. So in honor of the holiday, I want to share a little project that's been in the works for the past several weeks. Attached below are 600+ purpose driven organizations hand-picked and compiled by yours truly– categorized by area of impact. If you are thinking of making a move on your business/career/education – the founders of these organizations would be a great starting point to tap into as they are all highly acclaimed.
