October 2009 Archives

The NYU Reynolds Program in Social Entrepreneurship (www.nyu.edu/reynolds) is pleased to continue the 2009-10 "Social Entrepreneurship in the 21st Century" Speaker Series with Slow Money President and Investor's Circle Founder Woody Tasch. As president of Slow Money, a 501 c 3 formed in 2008, Woody is working to catalyze the flow of investment capital to small food enterprises and to promote new principles of fiduciary responsibility to support sustainable agriculture and the emergence of a restorative economy.

 

The event will take place on November 5 at 5:30pm at the Rudin Family Forum on the 2nd floor of the Puck Building, 295 Lafayette Street.  All are welcome, but space is limited and an RSVP is required at: http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/?p=WEB229L2SDHJJ8. 

 

 

Now in its forth year, The Social Entrepreneurship in the 21st Century Speaker Series features a remarkable selection of social entrepreneurs and related leaders who have launched extraordinary programs, companies and movements addressing the most pressing challenges of the 21st century.  Reflecting the NYU Reynolds belief that social entrepreneurship is a meta-profession drawing on cross-disciplinary knowledge and practice, the series presents prominent social entrepreneurs and leaders from across the spectrum of public and professional sectors who will share their insights as cutting-edge, far reaching change makers.

 

Other speakers this year include Honest Tea Founder and TeaEO Seth Goldman, Former U.S. Ambassador and President and CEO of Population Services International Karl Hofmann, and George Foundation Founder Dr. Abraham George. Additional speakers to be scheduled throughout the year.
