OC Mission

To host a unique business community that serves as a catalyst for businesses to create a better world. Our community of dynamic, social entrepreneurs, business executives, and leaders of non-profit organizations share a belief in doing well by doing good. Collectively we strengthen and support each member’s deeply held goals and aspirations.

OC Values

We believe that we can grow as people and strengthen our organizations when we are connected to others who share similar values. By sharing ideas and experiences about the ways that business can address some of the most pressing issues facing the world, we can be more effective business leaders and contribute to the global social enterprise community. Each member offers unique and important contributions to the collective, thereby creating an open environment of support and encouragement for each other.
