  5. CitizenOne - Management Team In 2004 REALeadership Alliance started the American Dream Project, a research and media outreach to help redefine the American Dream for a new generation of young Americans anxious to create a sustainable future. (Over 10,000 Americans filled out extensive surveys, an Emmy Award winning PBS learning documentary was produced and aired across the nation and public events were held to honor social entrepreneurs.) The results of the American Dream Project has lead to the creation of CitizenOne, a for-profit university, leadership institute, and job search enterprise focused on transforming for-profit and non-profit organizations using free-market principles to promote a sustainable future. Will Marre, CEO. Will Marre, the founder of CitizenOne/REALeadership Alliance, was the co-founder of the Covey Leadership Center. (7 Habits of Highly Effective People), the largest private leadership training organization in the world. In 1992, Marre co-founded Seacology, a non-profit dedicated to preserving the coral reefs, rainforests and culture of the South Pacific. He formed a unique “branded” partnership with a New York Stock company (NuSkin International) to create a sustainable commerce model for remote pacific islands. Seacology became a model of socially-strategic enterprise.

  8. Success Drivers What’s Driving American Employees and Consumers According to the 2007 Cone Cause Survey of American Consumers and Employees: • 92% have a more positive feelings of companies that visibly support good causes. • 83% say companies have a responsibility to support good causes. • 87% say they would switch brands (price and quality near equal) to one’s associated with good causes. • 61 million Americans have dedicated over 8 billion hours to volunteer service in 2006. “The only cause Americans care about is to save the world.” - Clotairre Rappaille, Cultural Anthropologist and Market Researcher Source: 2007 Cone Cause Survey

  9. Success Drivers What’s Driving Young Americans (Ages 13-25) • 80% want to work for companies that directly contribute to society but aren’t sure how to find them. • 56% would refuse to work for an irresponsible employer. • 83% will trust companies if it is environmentally/socially responsible. • 74% are more likely to listen to advertising from companies associated with good causes. More than Talk • There are now an estimated 3,000,000 citizen organizations worldwide attempting to provide social services, health care, disaster relief and environment healing. This is the fastest growing sector of employment and human enterprise worldwide. Source: 2007 Cone Cause Survey

  10. Success Drivers What’s Driving Global Business Leaders In a McKinsey & Co. Global Survey of 4,238 Senior Executives report: • 84% of senior executives now believe business should directly contribute to solving social and environmental problems. • Being viewed as socially or environmentally irresponsible by employees or consumers was listed as one of the top three strategic threats by global CEOs in 2007. • 75% state the prime responsibility for socially-strategic leadership should be the CEO and the senior executive team. • 70% of these leaders say they need to improve their performance to solving social and environmental problems but are not sure what to do. Source: 2007 Cone Cause Survey

  11. The Case for Education The greatest single strategy to increase human well-being worldwide is to increase access to quality education. COLLEGE GRADUATES: • Earn 73% more over a lifetime than high school graduates. • Are substantially less likely to divorce, abuse family members, smoke, become over weight, suffer from addiction, depression or be imprisoned. • Are 55% more likely to be in good health than high school graduates at age 50 and are 50% less likely to die before 50. • Report the highest level of life satisfaction and happiness. • Are twice as likely to volunteer and provide community service. • Are twice as likely to vote and participate in civic activities. BUT LOOK WHAT’S HAPPENING: • In 2005 less than 29% of American adults were college graduates. • The average cost of a Bachelors Degree from a private university is $151,000 and at a public university is $64,000. • There are 500,000 college-eligible young Americans every year that don’t attend college because it is unaffordable. • Over 50% of college graduates with bachelor’s degrees in 2007 have college debt exceeding $20,000. These loans often exceed $50,000 and are now being paid over a 30-year term. Source: The College Board, World Band World Values Survey, Bureau of Labor Statistics

  12. Isn’t it time for CitizenOne University? We have been educating students the same way for 3000 years. It is time to harness our collective wisdom, productive technology, and entrepreneurial innovation to accelerate education worldwide. CitizenOne offers a new business model for efficient, engaging, world-class education drawing from the world’s best professors, professionally produced media, and action learning all within social networks.

  13. Investment We believe the timing of social trends, demographics, and business opportunity is ideal for the right investor. We are looking for $5 million equity investment for 33% of ownership with revenue exceeding $60 million in 3 years and operating profits in excess of $45 million. We believe this target could be dramatically exceeded if we are able to secure a single global brand sponsor already strong in our target. (Think Virgin or Starbucks.)

  14. Exit Strategy The ideal exit strategy is to be acquired by a global brand sponsor whose brand equity and stock price premium is positively impacted by our socially-strategic activities. Alternatively, an IPO under the right market conditions is likely to command premium valuation because of our unique brand/business model.

  15. Readiness We are continuing to implement socially-strategic business transformation training and consulting to a NYSE company and are forming alliances with other training firms to expand capacity. • We have developed course outline content for our first social entrepreneur course. This course will be developed by REALeadership Alliance and licensed from Global Giving for distribution to 22,000 high schools and 4400 colleges and post secondary schools. • We are in discussions with one of America’s largest private university’s offering both classroom and online degrees to be our CitizenOne University partner. • We have secured an agreement from Talent Zoo, an industry job bard (marketing and advertising sector), to provide our technology infrastructure and management for our CitizenOne Job Board and social network.

  16. Readiness (continued) • We are reaching out to organizations such as the Global Clinton Initiative, Virgin Unite, and “TED” (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) to form content, brand and distribution partnerships. • We are developing a Facebook application to speed community building of our myDreamMatters.com social network. • We are expanding the research of the American Dream Project initiative through additional media development and search engine optimized blogging. We will be merging the American Dream Project into Citizen One within the next 6 months. • We are implementing a newly developed Rich Content™ platform to get our video, audio, image, and text content published to hundreds of established web portals. This will drive both our educational content and our inspirational message to accelerate our brand. • We are recruiting sponsors for our live event tour, which features music, inspirational education, and success stories of local social entrepreneurs. • We are recruiting editorial partners and advertisers for a digital online, multi-media magazine featuring how-to articles, user generated success stories, socially-strategic business profiles and personal life satisfaction strategies.

  17. Next Step We are engaged in developing an online multi-media class entitled, “Change the World Right Where You Stand.” This three-class module will be a resource for teachers and students of high school and college-age students to introduce key principles of social entrepreneurship, how to discover your own strengths and interests, initiate projects, and collaborate local organizations. This is our proof-of concept model that will be instrumental in soliciting sponsors and advertisers.
