It's time for our next nglccNY Biz Pitch Sponsored by EY!
Earlier this year we announced that EY will host three Biz Pitch competitions where three LGBTBEs will compete against each other. Congratulations to Hootology, the winners of he first competition which was held on January 25, 2018. Our next competition will be Thursday, June 28, 2018 (with the third in September 2018). The three winners from each of these three competitions (January, June and September) will then compete in a final nglccNY Biz Pitch in December 2018 where each of the three LGBTBEs competing will be awarded with one of the following prizes:
- Best pitch: Full scholarship to the Supplier Diversity Professional Excellence, Tuck Executive Education at Dartmouth for 2019 (approximate value: $5,000)
- Runner up: nglccNY 2019 National Dinner Registration for one attendee (approximate value: $750)
- Second Runner up: nglccNY 2019 Conference Registration for one attendee (approximate value: $600)
TO APPLY: Applications for this round have closed. If you are interested in applying, please apply for the September round of the LGBT Biz Pitch competition.
SUGGESTED APPLICANTS: All LGBTBEs are strongly encouraged to apply. It does not matter whether you want to work with EY, whether you think EY might (or might not) want to work with you, whether you believe EY may (or may not) be interested in your business, whether you believe EY has any interest in your goods services or whether you have applied previously. There is no reason not to apply!
ABOUT nglccNY Biz Pitch: nglccNY Biz Pitch will be similar in format to Certified Superstar. You will give a ten minute presentation which should focus on a service and value proposition. Following your presentation, you will receive ten minutes of constructive feedback on style, content, presentation skills and communication. Although you will not be bidding on any specific job, you should treat this opportunity as if it were an actual sales pitch. You will walk away with helpful advice from Corporate Partner representatives and gain additional experience in pitching your businesses. If EY selects you as the winner on June 28, 2018, you will be allowed to compete in December 2018 for one of the three prizes listed above.
