THE BESST FOUNDATION - SOUTH AFRICA
Established by Clay and his business partner, the late South African protocol expert Koos Jerard Louw, the Business Etiquette and Social Skills Training (BESST) Foundation empowered and equipped HDI women (Historically Disadvantaged Individuals) across South Africa with the professional skills needed to enter the workforce. Overseeing strategic communications, marketing and stakeholder engagement, Clay intentionally designed the BESST Foundation's logo as a tangible reminder that Social Skills remain at the heart of the challenge and opportunity for HDI women in South Africa and around the world.
