Well, something I’ve been meaning to blog about for a WHILE. I am very proud to announce that this semester I was granted membership into the Kairos Society as a Kairos Society Fellow.

Through networking a good friend of mine told me about this opportunity. The tagline for and behind the Kairos Society is “what if the world’s best and most successful entrepreneurs from fifty years ago were best freinds?” This society is global and moving up in the world fast. CNN called it young, brilliant, and innovative. Essentially, how can we find the brightest and smartest entrepreneurs out there and get them the tools and mentorship they need to [keep] changing the world?

Now, of course, I’m no entrepreneur.  I’m not a businessman.  I am not (well maybe I am…) someone who is going to create the next big thing (but it’s not going to be an app or a computer or something).  However… “Seizing the day…Problem Solvers.”  It’s people like those in the Kairos Society that literally create their own jobs that work toward solving problems.

They take the idea of being innovative and completely turn it on its head, stretch it out, and amplify it to defy expectations and assumptions.  I consider myself more of a social activist; taking the world’s fundamental problems and taking each and everyday as an opportunity to change them, from my vantage point, one person at a time.  CEO of the future? I can work with that.

Although relatively unknown to people in my field of education, I’m so proud of this accomplishment and wanted to be sure that I documented it.  Their mission is so inline with my life’s mission that it was an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up.

“These are the people we look for to join our Fellowship – the pioneers who are unafraid to challenge the status quo, and the innovators who are fueled by passion and determination. We are a global community of collegiate-aged emerging leaders and entrepreneurs, united by the Kairos Society mission: to tackle our world’s biggest problems through entrepreneurship and innovation.”
