Corporate Partnerships

Beta Gamma Sigma is fortunate that so many corporations have seen the value of offering discounted services and products to its members. Lifetime membership in Beta Gamma Sigma is a valuable accomplishment, and many corporations have agreed that working with our members is very good for them.

Although Beta Gamma Sigma has partnered with many organizations, two are being recognized in this publication. KPMG and Bloomberg Businessweek have seen the value of connecting with BGS and found creative ways to build their partnerships with the Society.

KPMG
KPMG needs little introduction when it comes to professional services. According to its website (www.kpmg.com), KPMG International “is a global network of professional services firms providing Audit, Tax and Advisory services. (KPMG) operates in 148 countries and have around 6,500 partners, 70,000 client service professionals, and 17,000 administration and support staff working in member firms around the world.”

With that sort of resume, it’s no wonder KPMG has decided to partner with Beta Gamma Sigma through the BGS CareerCentral On-Line Job Board to find qualified applicants. KPMG purchased a one-year job-posting package on the site, which allows the company to post as many jobs – and hire as many BGS members – as it wishes.

KPMG is a model for other organizations that would like to hire “the best in business” – members of Beta Gamma Sigma.

In addition, the KPMG Foundation has been a Gold-level sponsor of the Beta Gamma Sigma Student Leadership Forum. Recognizing the importance of preparing the next generation of business leaders, KPMG has been an important contributor – both financially and through supplying speakers and presenters – since the program began.

Bloomberg Businessweek
The relationship between Bloomberg Businessweek and Beta Gamma Sigma began with a discussion very similar to those held with other potential partners. Bloomberg Businessweek saw a tremendous opportunity to get in front of “the best in business” just as they were being inducted into the Society. So, Bloomberg Businessweek gives a one-year gift subscription (either online or print) to every new member of Beta Gamma Sigma.

But they didn’t stop there. Recognizing that Beta Gamma Sigma was much more than a group of high achieving college students and recent grads, Bloomberg Businessweek now offers its publication at the lowest price available to all BGS members. This is a tremendous opportunity for members to receive one of the world’s finest business periodicals at a fraction of its usual cost.

To confirm its commitment to Beta Gamma Sigma and its mission and objectives, Bloomberg Businessweek has been instrumental in helping the Society with some of its most important programs. In addition to the Student Leadership Forum, which it supports at the Platinum level, Bloomberg Businessweek shared its expertise by assisting the Society in surveying its membership. It has been a sponsor of the Collegiate Chapter Workshops, the Alumni Chapter Workshops, and many other programs that have advanced the Society’s mission and objectives.

Beta Gamma Sigma thanks both KPMG and Bloomberg Businessweek for their invaluable support and assistance. If you work for or with an organization that would like to connect with Beta Gamma Sigma, let us know.
