Dear Bpeacers,

Summer might be a slow time for some, but Bpeace is busy onboarding 75 new Fast Runners, and adding new members.

@Bpeace:  Member at large

 
"I've worked in and on Afghanistan since 2008, and genuinely believe in the good work Bpeace is doing there. Having seen firsthand the difficulties that women face there, I have tremendous respect for Bpeace's approach. I hope to channel my expertise and connections to support the great work the organization is already doing."
Columbus, OH

@Bpeace:  Graphic design support to Bpeace HQ


"Bpeace represents the kind of change I like to see in the world: mending conflict and contributing to a brighter future, one business at a time. By lending my skills to help Bpeace spread its influence, I know I've helped the world improve, even if just a little bit. I'm proud to be a member, and I can't imagine any better way to bring people together."

Owner, GoldSquare
 
@Bpeace:  Authoring a Bpeace blog
 

Krista helps people and businesses shine online with compelling content and smart marketing through her digital agency, GoldSquare.co. Before starting her own company, she helped build several rapid-growth startups in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, including JustAnswer.com and Tilt. Krista joined Bpeace because she was looking for a way to use her skills to serve others in a pro bono capacity, and fell in love with the organization's mission.

@Bpeace:  Summer Intern
