Overview:

Reinventing ourselves to participate in the Emerging new landscape of jobs, entrepreneurship, wealth creation, and thought leadership opportunities

The Boston Pledge with the support of Tufts Gordon Institute will be holding its annual conference on "Green Economy Opportunities" at the Bentley University on Oct 17th, 2 PM - 5 PM.

As you know the closest follower to the dot com revolution of the nineties could be the widespread infrastructure changes that will be required for sustainable developments in energy, transportation and habitats - focus areas for our current administration as well.
The conference will focus on path breaking trends, new business models emphasizing conservation over industrialization and practical ways for everyone to be a player in the emerging green economy. It is my pleasure to invite you to this event, to learn, network and share experiences.

The Boston Pledge

Uncovering the Power Within,

Incubating Services for Public Good

Born in the first year of this millennium, The Boston Pledge (TBP) is a non-profit organization that brings together outstanding professionals committed to public service from various spheres of life and professional disciplines to directly serve bottom of the pyramid issues. It is our strong conviction and overarching belief that by (i) transcending the constraints of self-interest and limits of national borders, (ii) providing outstanding leadership in channeling intellectual know-how and financial resources to individuals, groups or government bodies working for the betterment of society and (iii) focusing on empowering people at the grass roots, we will be able to create a virtuous dynamic which could in the long term build a more equitable and sustainable society.

Our mission is to continually develop and perfect a dynamic process which will enable people in privileged regions engage with socio-economic issues in less privileged regions, in encouraging all round development, and in evolving a multidisciplinary and multiethnic network for service to humanity. While many humanitarian organizations offer invaluable services following disasters, natural or moral, our goal is to proactively reach out to those regions that need improvement and address those root issues for rejuvenating communities before problems turn into insuperable quagmires. Specifically our focus is on education, health, small-scale industry development, cultural renaissance and service-sector revitalization in the under-privileged communities, irrespective of where they may be located, – developed and developing nations.

Toward this mission, we view TBP as an incubator of voluntary public service. From Boston to Kolkata, TBP is currently working on several different initiatives including (i) Entrepreneurial Development to facilitate bottom-up enterprising (ii) The Arsenic remediation in ground water, and (iii) Rural development in different parts of the world.

At the core of our work, we celebrate the thoughts of one the Greatest Philosophers and Public servants of the 19^th Century, and a Luminary in The First Parliament of Religions at Chicago in 1893, Swami Vivekananda: “Our Real Awakening takes place when we dedicate our life to an Exalted Ideal”.
