ATLANTA, GEORGIA: Golden Key International Honour Society has announced an official partnership with the Robert Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership. Golden Key is the world’s largest collegiate honor society, accepting only the top 15% of sophomores, juniors and seniors as well as top performing graduate students. Golden Key’s mission is to enable its members to realize their potential through the advancement of academics, leadership and service. This mission is what drove Golden Key to find a way to expand its leadership benefits to more of its members.
“In today’s collegiate world, students need to find ways to set themselves apart. They need to not only excel in the classroom, but develop their leadership skills while giving back to their communities,” said Brad Rainey, Golden Key’s Executive Director. “This new partnership will allow Golden Key members to continue to grow, develop and harness their leadership skills, while providing a real benefit to their campus and local communities.”
The Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership is an international nonprofit whose mission is to advance the awareness, understanding and practice of servant leadership by individuals and organizations. Robert Greenleaf’s vision was to have servant leadership establish more people-centered institutions and enrich the lives of individuals.
With these mission statements in mind, both organizations met to express their interests and goals. A plan was created and programming is being solidified to launch the new benefits of the collaboration. The collaboration will include various in-person leadership trainings, webinars and discounts on Greenleaf trainings and publications for Golden Key members. One of the largest benefits from the partnership is the “Train the Trainer” sessions presented by a Greenleaf representative. A group of Golden Key leaders will take part in a weekend training that will teach them to conduct leadership training sessions on their campuses. Greenleaf hopes to be able to spread its resources to campuses through Golden Key chapters.
Both nonprofit organizations are headquartered in Atlanta, GA and are members of the Georgia Center for Nonprofits. For more information about the organizations please visit www.goldenkey.org and www.greenleaf.org.

The Chief Executive of CPA Australia, and author of the bestselling book ‘The Naked CEO’, Mr. Alex Malley FCPA, will be awarded honorary membership in Golden Key International Honour Society.
The accolade will be presented at Storey Hall in Melbourne on Wednesday 7 October at the RMIT University New Member Reception.
Alex Malley is the current Chief Executive of CPA Australia and head of its financial services subsidiary, CPA Australia Advice. CPA Australia is a multinational organization with 19 offices worldwide and over 150,000 members in 120 countries. He was selected because of his dedication to the industry and outstanding achievement in academia, leadership and community service which align with pillars of the Golden Key.
With his recent success in the bestselling book – ‘The Naked CEO’, and highly popular online mentoring community – thenakedceo.com, Alex shares his own life experiences and provides aspiring leaders with a guidance platform.
“As a chief executive, former academic and father, I have committed my life to encouraging and nurturing the best that a young person can be. I deeply believe there is a leader in all of us, provided we are willing to chase passion and dreams,” says Alex.
He was also invited to become a LinkedIn Influencer: one of an exclusive group of global leaders joining Sir Richard Branson, Bill Gates and US President Barack Obama.
As the host of national TV series ‘The Bottom Line’, Alex frequently sheds light on leadership issues in interviews with fellow business and political leaders, benefiting the wider Australian community.
“I have admired the work of the Golden Key Society for many years now and look forward to working with it to further enhance the future for young people,” he said. “It is a great, personal privilege to be offered honorary membership and I will use it to continue my work in helping develop the next generation of leaders.”
RMIT Golden Key is equally excited with the prospect of working in partnership with Alex in future.
At the reception, Alex will deliver the keynote address and be awarded with his Golden Key Honorary Member Certificate.
