Global Business Coalition elects new board member
The Global Business
Coalition has announced the election of Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, group
managing director of Access Bank Plc, to its board.
The coalition is
the world’s largest group of businesses dedicated to fighting HIV/AIDS
and promoting the health of employees and the communities where they
work.
Widely regarded as
the preeminent organisation for businesses engaged in major workplace
and public health issues internationally, it is a network of over 220
businesses that fight AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria in their
workplaces or in communities where these issues loom large.
The coalition’s
headquarters is based in New York and provides strategic advice and
support for member companies. It creates public private partnerships
with leading international organisations, donors, governments, and NGOs.
In announcing Mr.
Aig-Imoukhuede’s election to the board, the coalition’s co-chairman,
Mark Moody-Stuart, said, “From 2011, GBC will be introducing an
aggressive strategy to rally more businesses and support their work in
global health. Africa is of course a top priority, and Aig-Imoukhuede’s
success at growing businesses, his stature in Nigeria, Africa, and
among international leaders, and his track record on fighting HIV/AIDS
and other health challenges, make him a natural choice for the GBC, and
I am delighted to have him join us.”
