Atlanta, GA – (January 1, 2018) – The Made Man organization is proud to announce its 2018 Made Man Experience Tour in the United States and Africa. Kicking off early spring, The Made Man will continue its mission to recognize and honor the extraordinary accomplishments of notable male influencers for their leadership, lifetime achievement in their respective fields of work, social consciousness, and significant contributions to community empowerment. The overall experience aims to build bridges across cultural boundaries and continents and ignite actionable results to empower underserved communities. Through leadership, thought-provoking debate and social innovation, the Made Man Experience Tour will unify forces and amplify our collective consciousness to expand opportunities, leverage technology, and embrace global cultural inclusion to create, develop, and transform ideas into action. In the United States, participating cities include Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., New York, Los Angeles and Houston. The one-day programming per city includes:

The Made Man HONORS, the organization’s signature ceremony to induct newly minted Made Men into the program;

• The Made Man Mentors Engage, a community activity to provide inspirational mentoring through roundtable discussions, one-on-one mentorship, and interactive workshops. Through partnerships with over 20 non-profits per city, the program will also provide counseling, guidance, and additional tools and resources;
• Press Conference with local and national media;
• SuitUp for Success, a global initiative that collects gently used professional clothing for underserved men and young males entering or transitioning back into the workforce.

The Made Man is poised to embark upon its first international tour, and showcase its inaugural Global Think Tank conference, themed “Globalization, Inspired”, creating a two-day experience in various countries abroad. Day one of this two-day experience will include the US programming as outlined above. A panel-style symposium, Global Think Tank will bring together extraordinary leaders from government, corporate and private sectors collaborating through independent thought focused on building an inclusive, global economy.

Aiming to cultivate an environment that allows for thinking to be challenged, where free speech is encouraged and groundbreaking ideas can be actualized, this Made Man initiative converges to build pathways around cultural diversity and cross-cultural innovation to reshape our global business world.
