The Academy is a global, membership-based, non-profit, non-political organization that calls for a fundamental redefinition of business as a social partner. It is a collaborative international network of business executives, scholars and entrepreneurs dedicated to building a better world through business.

The biggest single expectation of new Members is that they are committed at a very deep level to being responsible for the whole. Academy members view their role in business as one that has broader social implications than the heedless pursuit of traditional quantifiable dollars per share on investment. Central to Academy membership is awareness that, with hands uniquely on the levers of power, there is an obligation as global citizens to insure that the greatest good is done for the greatest number globally. To perform this task, Members believe that the single most critical change factor is one’s own personal and spiritual evolution.

Academy Members recognize the responsibility of business to society relative to critical moral, environmental and social dilemmas. Every decision made and every action taken is viewed in that light. The Academy acknowledges a triple bottom line: people, planet and profits. Members engage each other in interactive dialogue to advance the Academy’s mission. As such, it is an honor to be invited into the Academy to participate and contribute to the dialogue.

There are two main categories of membership in the Academy-Members and Subscribers.

Member annual dues are $500, which entitles them to receive all publications, gift books and tapes. They have complete access to the online Resource Directory of Members and Fellows. They receive priority invitations and preferential seating at Academy functions. However, the most important benefit is that they can partake in the online dialogue with other Members and Fellows to co-create a new global business paradigm..

Subscribers are those who wish to receive only the publications of the Academy. They do not partake in the dialogue with other Members and Fellows and do not have complete access to the resource information about them. Subscriber annual dues are $150.

Subscriptions are billed on a yearly basis. If at anytime you decide to discontinue your subscription, the Academy will provide you a prorated refund on your subscription.
