Once you are done, you will select “Submit,” which will take you to a confirmation screen. You also will receive a confirmation email verifying your application was submitted for review.
•
Declined: Your application has been declined, and you should have received a detailed email from the H-E-B Public Affairs team via the online donation portal.
Ensure that you are using a Google Chrome browser to access the online donation portal, My Community Investment (MCI) and complete your application. If you are using Google Chrome, and still experiencing issues, try clearing your browser cache, which could be causing a delay. If you are having trouble receiving your password reset link, ensure that you have @heb.com and @salesforce.com added to your safe sender list and remember to check your spam/junk mail. If you receive an error saying to “contact the system administrator” – this means you already have an account with your email or have not logged into MCI over the past two years. Try resetting your password. If the system is not accepting your TIN number, simply enter your TIN and select “no” when asked if your organization is a 501c3 if applicable. The system should let you proceed at this time. It may also ask you to verify that you have entered the TIN correctly, if it does not recognize it from a previous application. Within the application, there is an opportunity to enter a referral code if you have been given one. If you have not been provided a referral code by an H-E-B Partner, you do not need to provide a response to this question. If your organization has an old account that is tied to an email of an employee that is no longer with your organization, you will need to create a new account. When you set up your password, you will be required to have at least eight characters, one letter, one number, and one special character (! # $ % - _ + = < >)

M&A expertise
In a consolidating marketplace, M&A skills and experience are highly valued.
To keep up in a rapidly changing marketplace, leaders must fail fast when wrong and scale fast when right.
A command of the global marketplace is a must for top leaders in pursuit of new avenues for growth.
Good leaders understand the major shift from B2B to consumer revenue and use data as a powerful decision-making tool to shape their content strategies and distribution channels according to measurable trends in customer behavior and preferences as a necessary complement to creative vision and instincts.
The best candidates have a “thesis” for how to move forward in an uncertain landscape, and articulate it clearly and with confidence.
As media consumption and channels evolve, leaders in high demand bring perspectives from multiple sectors, many bouncing between traditional and digitally native businesses, as well as crossing over from e-commerce, omnichannel and telco environments.
