Triple Award from Pitney Bowes at World Innovation Forum
In 2010 Pitney Bowes celebrated its 90th year of innovation by renewing its sponsorship of HSM’s World Innovation Forum, an internationally renowned gathering of thinkers and innovators held annually in New York City. At the Forum, the company announced that it had awarded three simultaneous $9000 gifts to leading nonprofit organizations that foster student innovation and empower young people to make a difference; buildOn, FIRST, and the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship. All three had originally been contenders for a single grant determined by an online vote promoted via social networking.
