Description:
Learn about social entrepreneurship and how you might consider starting your own nonprofit organization with Honors Program alum Rob Emrich.

Rob currently serves as president of B.A. Mensch Consulting, an interactive digital agency. He is co-founder of the largest marketplace for speakers and event planners; and the Owner of Boundaryless Brands, a family of e-commerce companies.

Before embracing his pursuits as a entrepreneur, in 2002 Rob sold his car and stocks to fund the initial $2,500 investment and founded The Keren Emrich Foundation | Road of Life. That investment has since been leveraged to serve over 200,000 children internationally and generate an estimated $60 million social return on investment for cancer prevention for children.

Rob and his work have been featured extensively in the media, including coverage by NPR, PBS, Inc.com, and major daily newspapers. He sits on a number of boards, including The Columbus Jewish Foundation; and the Alliance of Nonprofits for Insurance, Risk Retention Group. Rob was also selected as a delegate to the Third Annual World Health Care Congress, and one of five delegates from Ohio for the First Nonprofit Congress.

Rob graduated with Research Distinction from The Ohio State University Honors Program, with a B.A. in Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Science and Reason. Please join us for what promises to be an informative and stimulating alumni fireside chat with Mr. Rob Emrich.

RSVP to Cheria Dial at the email address above no later than Tuesday, November 3rd.
