LESłAW A. PAGA FOUNDATION

Since 2003 the Lesław A. Paga Foundation enables young leaders to excel their potentials by actively contributing to the shape of the region’s future. The foundation aims at creating a network of highly ambitious students and young professionals who not only seek to advance in their professional lives, but also want to make an impact in their immediate environment, as well as society at large. The Alumni of the Foundation have a unique chance to learn from the best experts and gain practical... experience in more than 150 partner companies. Currently, there are over 3 000 Alumni who support each other not only professionally, but also on the private ground. Our tradition are leadership evenings - meetings with the greatest experts from Poland and the region organized monthly in a noformal way. It is also our mission to promote the highest ethical standards and culture among entrepreneurs. This is why every year we grant the Lesław A. Paga award to businessmen, activists and institutions. This honorary distinction constitutes a commemoration of our Patron’s work. In previous years, the winners were: Krzysztof Lis, Leszek Czarnecki, Leszek Balcerowicz, Igor Chalupec, Joseph Wancer, Janusz Lewandowski, prof. Grzegorz Domanski, Zygmunt Solorz-Zak, prof. Marek Belka, Jacek Siwicki and Hebert Wirth. Our vision of promoting the highest ethical standards is not limited to professionals and students. We give secondary schools students the opportunity to participate in the Stock Market Game (SIGG) and those who finish their secondary education can apply for the Indeks Start2Star Scholarship awarded during the whole period of studies. Apart from our regular projects, we organize conferences, workshops and lectures whose speakers are the best specialists of the Polish and European markets.More
