The next fantastic member we want to shout out as part of our BAARC Board Member Spotlight Series is Ben Bodipo-Memba! Q: Why did you decide to get involved with BAARC? A: I loved the idea of being involved with an organization that was committed?to making a difference within our industry. Many people have helped me along my professional journey; this was a "no brainer" opportunity to give back. Q: Why is the Bay Area professional community special to you? A: It is a very tightknit community. There is a lot of overlap within it with many of us crossing paths professionally...a definite extended family feel. Q: Being part of the DEI committee at BAARC, what's been the most impactful moment thus far? A: I appreciate BAARC's commitment?to DEI, with the emphasis on inclusion, letting people from underrepresented communities understand that there IS an opportunity in the marketing & advertising field. Proud of BAARC's work in mentorship too. Q: If you could share any type of advice, what would it be for your younger self? A: Do not be afraid to ask for help, reach out to your community, or connect with a mentor. You'd be surprised how many people are willing to help. #BAARC #networking #mentorship #helpinghands #givingback #volunteering #bayarea #nonprofit
