WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON

World AI Conference and Social Enterprises
There are several exciting events taking place this week.

The World Appreciative Inquiry Conference kicks off today in Nepal, bringing together world leaders in the strengths movement. The event aims to be a turning point for addressing developmental challenges in the 21st century.

Meanwhile in Toronto, the third annual Social Enterprise Conference will take place Nov. 18-20. Watch for more stories on AxiomNews.ca.

The event themes include training sessions on the different stages of social enterprise development and exploring the development of a national policy agenda.

We've also recently talked with Traci Fenton, CEO and founder of WorldBlu, who is encouraging organizations to apply for the 2010 WorldBlu List of Most Democratic Workplaces award.
