Organization Overview

In 2002, Nancy Michaels had the good fortune of attending Office Depot’s Success Strategies Conference where she had the opportunity to bid on lunch with Bruce Nelson, CEO of Office Depot.  At 6:59pm, one minute before the auction closed, she put down her American Express Card and nabbed lunch with Mr. Nelson—for a mere $1,050.  Today, Office Depot remains her biggest client and Bruce Nelson one of her biggest advocates.

Recently, Nancy had the pleasure of kicking off an initiative that had been near and dear to her heart for more than two years – In Good Company. In Good Company is a concept to connect small business owners with industry leaders and executives.  Bids are placed online and the winning bidder has a chance to converse with and be coached by a leading corporate player over lunch. 

The proceeds from the winning bids are used to fund the business efforts of women entrepreneurs via Count-Me-In, a non-profit organization that champions the cause for women’s economic independence by providing access to business loans and education.   

Entrepreneur has signed on as the media sponsor of In Good Company, providing assistance through advertising and editorial support.
