ICSB Member Services

Resources

Join/Renew: ICSB international members will now be able to renew their membership online. If you are a member of one of our affiliates USASBE and ECSB, and CCSBE, we will re-direct you to the respective website. All affiliate members will have access to the ICSB web site as part of being a member of our affiliates. This is one of the membership benefits our affiliates offer to our global members.

Member Spotlight: Every month we will spotlight an ICSB global member. This month’s spotlight is Gaile Griffin Peers- ICSB Member from Spain. To start with her spotlight, we will first quote her: “I am tired of watching, on the sidelines, as businesses with great ideas, enthusiastic owners (and dedicated staff) start and fade here, due to either a lack of a voice or a lack of support and I want to do something about it, in the best way I can, with the skills I have at my disposal”.

Calendar:  Conferences, meetings, events, and web seminars are always happening in the various ICSB affiliates. The online calendar allows ICSB members to know when, where and who is having a conference, a global dialog, or even a networking event. The calendar is being populated and will go live on June 18th, 2008. In the meantime, we are posting the most recent calendar events available.

Membership Directory:  All ICSB members will be able to search for other members from our global network. Do you want to know who is interested in women leadership or social entrepreneurship? The new search feature will allow you to identify and contact them. Just make sure to mention you are also an ICSB member. The directory is only available to ICSB members. We will soon ask our global members to complete a profile sheet that will help us organize our directory by geographic region, affiliation, type (researcher, educator, policy, practitioner, and small business owner) and area of expertise (corporate entrepreneurship, new venture creation, small business management, etc. ..)

Job Postings: Being an ICSB member will allow you to search for job postings from around the world. Our affiliates and members will be able to post job openings in academia, research projects, and other. The platform will be a marketplace to connect our members that can supply their expertise and for those who are in demand of it.  

Doctoral Consortiums: Doctoral students that attend any of the ICSB and or its affiliate conferences will be able to connect with each other. ICSB believes these doctoral students will eventually be our future leaders and by strengthening their networks we are strengthening the ICSB mission of global networks and global knowledge. For the first time ever, two ICSB affiliates agreed to fund a conference scholarship for a doctoral student from the United States to attend the ICSB European affiliate (ECSB) RENT conference in the Fall of 2008. Also, the ICSB United States affiliate (USASBE) will fund a conference scholarship to a doctoral student from Europe to attend their conference in January 2009. The information will be sent out in the coming week with an application form to be completed for review by Dr. George Solomon (Assistant Professor at the George Washington University) and Dr. Dale Meyer, (Professor Emeritus from University of Colorado).
