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.
