Mr. Bill Cummings will be sharing stories from his new autobiography, Starting Small and Making it Big and he has quite a tale to tell from his humble beginnings growing up in a one bedroom apartment to selling ice cream and boats to building a 500-person firm near Boston with a debt-free portfolio of 11 million square feet of commercial real estate. Bill and his wife Joyce were the first Massachusetts couple to join the Giving Pledge, an international philanthropic organization founded by Bill and Melinda Gates.
Amongst his long list of accomplishments, Mr Cummings is one of the founders of the Woburn Business Association. We could not be more proud than to offer this Lunch and Learn opportunity for our members and the community to hear Mr. Cummings tell his story in this intimate setting.
Words of praise for the book:
“Bill is a serial entrepreneur and an embodiment of the American Dream. His fascinating story is rich with lessons for aspiring entrepreneurs and for anyone interested in the role business can play in strengthening community and society.”
– Peter Drobac, MD, Director, Skoll Centre for Entrepreneurship, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford
