As a company and as individuals, we have spent years developing ways to help our clients outperform the competition. Our methodologies, processes and strategic skills are perhaps the most valuable assets we have, and we are proud to share them with civic organizations and nonprofits across the United States. In 2006, Accenture's US pro bono program dedicated time and resources valued at nearly $2 million to work with nonprofit organizations, such as Junior Achievement, NPower New York, MedShare, The High Museum of Art and the Louisiana Association of Nonprofit Organizations, making a direct impact on the vitality of cities across the nation. We encourage our people to become actively involved in leadership roles in their local communities at an individual level. We offer nonprofit board and committee workshops for our executives at several of our US locations and help them find volunteer leadership roles with nonprofit organizations. Accenture executives play key roles in organizations across the country, from the Board of Trade in Washington, D.C. to the Commercial Club in Chicago and the Bay Area Council in San Francisco. Our involvement in philanthropic leadership goes beyond US borders: Accenture is one of 63 strategic partners of the World Economic Forum, a nonprofit organization that is "committed to improving the state of the world," serving as a platform for discussion, debate and action on the key issues of the global agenda by 1,000 of the foremost international companies.
