Wednesday, June 15, 1pm ET - ([link removed]) Federal Contracting 101 ([link removed]) | ASBN Live
The Federal Government buys more goods and services than any other organization on the planet. But being a government contractor isn't for the faint of heart. Fortunately, purpose-driven companies - B corps, PBCs and the like - are used to some of the complexities of doing good for the world while also making a profit. At this session, the leaders of three government contractors that are also certified B corporations (Fors Marsh, Rescue Agency, TCG) will walk you through the pluses and minuses of government work and will try to answer all your questions. If you've ever wanted to do business with the government, this is a good place to start.

The toolkit is designed to improve the human rights performance of supply chain relationships, both domestic and international. Together, we'll gain insight into how to incorporate social impact into company DNA by codifying prosocial, shared-responsibility principles into your legal documents.

Wednesday, July 20, 1pm ET - ([link removed]) Our Transformational Nature Stories: A Compass for Thriving in Business and Life ([link removed]) (http:// [link removed]) | ASBN Live
By tapping into our experiences with nature, we can renew the profound influence it has on how we feel and how we perceive ourselves and others. From the ground laid by these personal nature experiences, we will explore how nature and its living systems can inform the way we lead in business. Now more than ever, our leadership calls for a wisdom reflecting that humanity is part of nature.

In this town hall gathering hosted by the Livable Planet Working Group, ASBN members and allies will be invited to evoke a special nature-based experience. Presenters will start things off by sharing their own transformative nature experience, including how it has affected their personal and professional life. Attendees will be led through a process of embodying the power and inspiration of their own nature encounter, and if they wish, they can share it publicly.
