Hamline Dialogue: Social Innovation Across Sectors
 March 15, 2010
Kay Fredericks Ballroom
6:30 pm Registration and Reception
7:00-8:30 pm Program and Discussion

Social innovators work to meet pressing, unmet needs that can lead to movements in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors.  Social Innovation is the catalyst behind ideas such as early childhood education, patient-led healthcare, fair trade, the world wide web, and micro-lending. 

What social innovation do you know? Do you have an idea for a social innovation? You will have the opportunity to share with participants. Our panelists will vote on the innovation, and you may win a dinner to Salut! 

Speakers include Brad Brown, Executive Director of Social Venture Partners Minnesota and Jill Youse, the founder of the International Breast Milk Project.
 
Mark your calendar for Monday, March 15 for a discussion on Social Innovation.  Every Hamline Dialogue begins with a presentation and ends with a conversation.   
 
All Hamline School of Business students, faculty, alumni, and friends are encouraged to attend.
