Evangelist Gerard Stein: Helping Women Change the World

April 15, 2010 by

A Celebration of Women …..taking Action

 

 is pleased to introduce a MAN of ACTION, who is seeking assistance in his Vision, that 

promotes the same belief that the Women of Our World do, we ask those who can to help…. 

Gerard Stein

A Man who was among those recognized in the first Greater IBM awards.

The following is a description of this Evangelist’s

Vision and Hope for the Future of Our World.

   

Gerard Stein lives by a simple credo:

“Women are the Global Power of Change.” 

 

He’s devoted his after–IBM life to turning that belief into

actions that promote the abilities of women to achieve leadership positions.

After 31 years with IBM in France, Africa and Saudi Arabia, he launched EVE-olution.org, a not-for-profit organization and travels widely as a business coach for women senior executives and business owners.

He also works with leading think-tanks dealing with global trade.

Officially registered as EVE-olution Foundation Inc., his organization focuses on helping female entrepreneurs in emerging and developing countries run businesses better.

Gerard’s work and encouragement for other Greater IBMers earned him one of our

First Annual Awards as a “Greater Evangelist”.

The organization’s motto is “the Global Power of Change,” and he believes that women, especially those with businesses, will drive that change because this is “The Only Global Soft Power“.

                                                   WOMEN WANT PEACE                                         
 

Pollution, terrorist organizations and the current financial situation don’t respect frontiers, said Stein.   A huge portion of the world’s population not only lives in developing countries, but seems destined to live
 “in alarming conditions” in and around cities.
 
Women Produce in any Circumstance…..

Reinforcing women entrepreneurs helps buffer some of those threats.
 
EVE-olution’s help to those women comes by opening doors for their business, finding new export markets, rather than lending or giving them money.
 

With a thriving business, a woman can create new jobs in her village, stemming the rural-to-urban exodus.

“They’re also role models for youth, inspiring their communities,” said Stein.
 

 “And in their regions they’re powerful influencers of sustainable development and security.”
 

EVE-olution.org, said Stein, runs “without the expensive logistics of members, employees or permanent offices,” although it covers the expenses of volunteers. The foundation calls on private companies to support them but will not accept money from governments or public institutions.

EVE-olution is Global Member of UN Global Compact and Globe-Women.

He’s hoping the Greater IBM community will provide him with more manpower. Stein is looking for retired executives and corporate volunteers as well as business administration students willing to work on the project. He also needs development volunteers to approach companies to become supporters, Web specialists and designers to expand EVE-olution’s site, and communicators to help raise the organization’s visibility.

“What we do for ourselves dies with us.

 What we do for others and the world 

 remains and is immortal,”   

said Stein, quoting  A. Pine.
