B Corp Leadership Development

About BLDs Events:

BLDs (B Corp Leadership Development) are conferences organized by B Local Community leaders to strengthen and support the local B Corp movement. BLD events provide an avenue for employees of Certified B Corps and others interested in the movement to network, collaborate, and share best practices for strong business and maximum positive impact.
