BGS NZ Pro Bono Project Offerings

What is the Pro Bono Project?
The Pro Bono Project (PBP) is an initiative created exclusively by the Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS) NZ Alumni Chapter to engage both BGS members and non-members in a way that provides value to the BGS NZ community. All listings are offered on a Pro Bono basis and provide opportunities to collaborate, network, and tap into the ever growing BGS NZ and International Honour Society. PBP membership is voluntary and is separate to the offerings and benefits associated with the standard BGS Lifetime Membership.

How the Pro Bono Project Works
Within a rolling six-month timeframe (January - June and July - December), PBP members are required to give back to other PBP members or the BGS NZ society twice. PBP members can offer their products, services, or time in any way they fell would be of value to the community. For example, a PBP member can provide free office space for another member's usage, offer professional consulting/advisory services, or providing marketing support for a business. The options to give back are endless.

Benefits of Joining the Pro Bono Project
In addition to the satisfaction of giving back to the BGS NZ community, there are other benefits of joining the PBP. A few of these benefits include:
  • Access to products and services for free as a PBP member.
  • Try before you buy - build relationships by working with someone for free to start.
  • Partners/members gain access to other members in the wider BGS NZ and BGS International network.
  • Have the opportunity to promote partners/members over the BGS NZ social media platforms and on our website.
  • Open to giveaways and other rewards from BGS NZ, making it a win-win situation for everyone involved.

Life and Disability Insurance Review

I can provide a free, no obligation, no conflict review of your current Life and Disability risks. I will provide a bespoke and tailored recommendation of how to best cover yourself while balancing risk and your budget. This may be through providing a second pair of eyes on your current covers, recommending better structures and finding discounts, or providing a new plan if you don't have anything in place currently. As I am a salaried adviser, I have no conflict of interest that leads me to recommend certain insurers or certain levels of cover. You can feel safe knowing that what is recommended for you is purely based on what I feel is the best option for you. And there is no obligation. Additional information about the offer: I am also one of the few Life and Disability Advisers who specialises in Human Business Risk. These are the risks associated to humans within your business. This may be protecting the shareholders in the event one of the shareholders has a permanent exit from the business due to an illness or injury, or, covering the financial loss as a result of losing a key person in your business for a period of time. I can also help with employee retention and attraction by helping implement Group Medical or Group Life and Disability cover for your employees. This is a great employee benefit while providing ROI to your business.

Artist Talk / Artwork: I will share my experience/journey so far as a visual artist in New Zealand.

A few years ago, I made a bold decision to take a leap of faith and transition from architecture and translation to pursue my passion as a full-time visual artist. The journey has been an incredible one, filled with challenges, triumphs, and valuable lessons.

As I embarked on this new career path, I often encountered people expressing their admiration for my courage and expressing their own desires to make similar career changes. Many have approached me, curious about how I managed to make such a significant shift and seek advice on pursuing their own passions.

In this talk, I aim to share my personal story and shed light on the transformative process of transitioning careers, particularly within the art space. Drawing upon my background in architecture and translation, I will highlight how diverse elements can shape and enhance the formation of a new career.

I am thrilled to share that one of my recent artworks is part of a current exhibition at the prestigious Auckland Museum, and I have had the privilege of selling my works to collectors both in New Zealand and overseas. These achievements serve as a testament to the possibilities that lie within the art industry for individuals starting out or looking to advance their careers.

Whether you are an aspiring artist, contemplating a career change, or simply intrigued by the fusion of diverse backgrounds in the pursuit of a new vocation, this talk will provide valuable insights and inspiration. Join me as we explore the transformative power of following one's passion and embracing the unknown in the pursuit of a fulfilling career in the art space.
