CBSAC/NY’s featured volunteer, Anisa Keith, co-founded the Sustainable Business Committee (SBC) and its flagship certificate series on green business, Making Green From Green. The series is one of the most popular Club offerings (with over 1,400 attendees to date) and establishes CBSAC/NY as a destination for green business events.  Moreover, SBC event attendance has exceeded club averages by 200%. Due to the success of the SBC, Anisa’s innovations now serve as the new model for CBSAC/NY’s committee development and marketing outreach.

Anisa is an independent consultant providing financial advisory and business strategy to a variety of firms in the financial services, technology and non-profit sectors. In this capacity, she advises on fund raising, market-entry strategy and implementation. Prior to that, Anisa worked as the COO and head of business development at an architecture and design firm where she launched the firm's international business, winning key contracts in the UAE and Qatar.
