Presentations & Conversations – “The Significance of a Social Enterprise”
Social entrepreneurs play the role of change agents in the social sector by adopting a mission to create and sustain social value (not just private value) by recognizing and relentlessly pursuing new opportunities to serve that mission; engaging in the process of continuous innovation, adaptation, and learning; acting boldly without being limited by resources currently in hand and exhibiting a heightened sense of accountability to the constituencies served and for the outcomes created.
If your dream is to build a just, inclusive, sustainable and thriving future, these socially minded entrepreneurs will sure inspire and encourage you to be part of a positive change and achieve your social goal. Their stories and expertise will sure empower your passion for changing the world into concrete plans for launching a nonprofit or for-profit venture.
