THE ENTERPRISE EXCHANGE LUNCHEON
2018-08-16 10:00 - 14:00
SCROLL DOWN FOR REGISTRATION FORM AND INFORMATION
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: THURSDAY AUGUST 9TH

For businesses, non-profit organizations and anyone interested in being socially responsive. This 4-hour event will focus on how to implement social enterprise strategies using unique legal entities such as the newly legislated Public Benefit Corporation (PBC). Social enterprises operate a business by selling in a market, and can be registered as for-profit, non-profit or a PBC. They seek to balance activities providing financial benefit with social goals. Funding is provided primarily through selling goods and services, though they may also receive money from grants. A social enterprise operates differently than a typical company because profit-maximization is not the only motivation. You are invited to hear out-of-the-box entrepreneurs and leaders who are successfully blending the power of the marketplace with the passion of purpose to improve their communities.

SECOND MONDAY LUNCH EVENT - OCTOBER 2018
2018-10-08 12:00 - 13:00 | Potter’s Pizza, 3802 Buffalo Gap Road, Abilene, TX, 79605, United States
MONDAY OCT 8TH – The ABILENE STARTUP COMMUNITY is bringing local entrepreneur & business owner, Michael Mikeworth, to share universal benefits derived from implementing ancient biblical wisdom in the marketplace. The primary premise of THE BUSINESS CLINIC is that businesses would do well to consider the implication of being organic relational bodies; whereas most modern-day thought treats businesses strictly as mechanical organizational structures. Mike will be working from the postulate: Businesses are as much a part of the Kingdom of God as the institutional church; therefore, biblical instructions to local church bodies are just as applicable to business bodies as it relates to successful operational procedures.
This lunch will be a great introduction to concepts and business practices that will strengthen any organization. Even if a business owner/manager does not hold to a traditional Judeo/Christian worldview, they will be sure to find some operational application in this discussion to be of benefit to their respective enterprise. There is NO COST to hear this presentation – just show up at Potter’s Pizza and purchase your own lunch (if you want to eat.)
