FOUNDER'S DAY ANNUAL LECTURE AND AWARDS

The Founder’s Day Annual Lecture and Awards Ceremony is a programme designed to give back to the society through lectures and awards. It is part of BSN's corporate social responsibility. It was inaugurated in 2009 to commemorate the anniversary of The Bible Society of Nigeria and holds every February 8. At every edition of the programme, topics that are germane are discussed by seasoned speakers, calling attention of the government or the citizenry to any issue at stake as the case maybe. Part of the activity for this programme is to award outstanding individuals in their fields of calling who have influenced their world and impacted humanity positively . Both lecture and award are aimed at influencing attitudinal change and encourage selflessness as a virtue in the lives of the Nigerian citizens. The event is also used to positively project the image of the organisation and provide a platform to educate the audience on what The Society does. 

 Organized for an audience capacity of 500, the event targets for participation the  clergy, captains of industries, professional bodies,  youth organisations, government representatives, among others, who afterwards are well able to take the messages back to their constituencies for impact and desired change. Founder's Day is an advocacy programme that seeks to give back to the society as part of our corporate social responsibility while influencing attitudinal change by modelling the ideal morals. It costs a minimum of N2, 000,000 to successfully host a Founder's Day.
