CEN DC: Social Entrepreneurship: Where Are We In 2010?

 

CEN DC presents: Social Entrepreneurship: Where Are We In 2010?
 
No one has yet counted all the dollars or hours that have been devoted to social entrepreneurship.  What we know is that if you google the topic, you'll get 16 million pages.  "Social entrepreneurship ideas" alone accounts for 2.3 million.  What we know is that now more than ever, we need leaders who combine their passion for a mission with discipline, innovation and determination.  And, as Google's Project 10 to the 100 made clear:  "Never in history have so many people had so much information, so many tools at their disposal, so many ways of making good ideas come to life."
  
So how has this movement worked and is it more effective than traditional philanthropy?  Our panelists, recognized leaders in social philanthropy, will help us take a closer look at this phenomenon and address such questions as:
 
  • What's changed since the idea was first born?
  •  What are some of the latest trends?
  • Why is social entrepreneurship such a powerful way of creating social change?  Or ist it?
  • What have we learned about what works and what doesn't?
  • Some of the ones you may have.
If you're interested in these questions, or have some of your own, join us.  You won't want to miss this event!
