It aims to educate and empower the next generation of marketing talent globally, with a specific focus on underrepresented communities.
Effie LIONS Foundation Board members act as voting members of the board with full authority and responsibility to ensure the organization’s long-term financial stability and integrity.
As a member of the Board of Directors, Shubranshu will have a unique opportunity to:
- Have a voice in shaping the marketing industry’s future talent
- Help ensure that the marketing industry attracts the diverse talent needed for its future success
- Connect with other industry leaders who share a common mission
Shubhranshu will work as a board member with a special focus on helping the foundation address the needs of India and South Asia.
As the regional representative, Shubhranshu’s perspective will be essential to shaping the programs. As a Board member, Shubhranshu is expected to serve on two board committees.
The Foundation Board will meet twice annually. One meeting will be held each year in January, typically in either New York or London. One meeting is planned during the Cannes LIONS Festival of Creativity in June.
