The BMe Community provides its members with a positive environment, inspiring stories and the ability to connect with a diversity of inspired people who are committed to the public good in a variety of ways. The BMe Community also provides its members a news service, a web tool to create and cross-promote events, and access to information for improving health, building wealth, acquiring know-how and expanding their networks. Each year BMe identifies exemplary local black men from a broad number of stations in life and names them "BMe Leaders" - an honor that includes expanded networking opportunities, funding, and considerable public recognition.
