Professionals of all ages and a variety of backgrounds are engaging in leadership roles as entrepreneurs for society.  If you are interested in learning about how to effect change through social entrepreneurship, this one day conference is for you.

Social entrepreneurs don’t believe in waiting for government or the business sector to solve fundamental issues of health, education, and economic development. They see innovative ways to get personally involved and with even minimal investment make a difference in solving seemingly intractable problems. In so doing, they help move entire societies forward .Social entrepreneurs are individuals who see innovative answers for some of society’s most pressing problems. The society they address can be close to home or frequently in a foreign land where basic human needs are overwhelming.
