GCCF Transfers BIG to CEO Forum

Business

Gulf Coast Community Foundation (GCCF) is transitioning the operation of BIG—Bright Ideas on the Gulf Coast to one of its biggest and longest-running partners in the entrepreneurial support initiative, the Gulf Coast CEO Forum. The CEO Forum will focus BIG activities on engaging entrepreneurial college students with its member businesses as well as retired executives, and reinvigorating BIG’s original strategy of connecting young talent with existing resources to stem brain drain from the region. Gulf Coast Community Foundation will support these activities while it continues to advance the larger mission behind BIG of fostering an entrepreneurial ecosystem on the Gulf Coast. The Forum also seeks to grow its CEO Forum Associates program, which enables students to participate in special CEO Forum activities, learning from and networking with members.
