“The Business Council is a critical part of The Thinkubator’s strategy to engage individuals who support our mission and who will commit to providing information and potential access to internships and job opportunities to BIPOC and LGBTQ New Yorkers who for too long have not been included in many industries. The Business Council members will be critical to advancing The Thinkubator’s core mission” stated, Dr. Edward Summers, President and CEO, The Thinkubator.
