 SEE Change...As it happens December 2012 |
Greetings!
It's that time of year again. A time filled with celebratory wishes, half-empty glasses of egg nog, missed opportunities under the mistletoe and good ol' fashioned consumerism. The holiday season also brings with it an annual set of resolutions and renewed goals for the upcoming year. For the average entrepreneur, so intimately tied to his enterprise, it's no surprise that business growth takes on a central focus of that goal-setting exercise. And it's no different for social entrepreneurs.
In the spirit of those resolutions, you'll notice the running theme of our December issue is that nebulous, always challenging issue of impact. Whether figuring out ways to sustain it, demonstrate it, grow or measure it, impact is central to the social entrepreneurial vernacular. And success is unattainable without it.
Wishing you and yours a happy, healthy season filled with good cheer, good friends - and impactful interactions.

Congratulations on a hard-fought race for your second term as president. With your recent victory, I hope you will use your power - as a legislator, but also a bully pulpit - to broaden your agenda and take on some of our society's most pressing issues. And, you have one thing that no other president has ever had - an army of two generations of social entrepreneurs who are fighting every day to change the landscape of education, health care, and workforce development.
Canada and its social enterprise sector will be in the spotlight next year when the country hosts the 2013 Social Enterprise World Forum in Calgary, October 2-4. As Canada's first and only publication dedicated to social enterprise and entrepreneurship, we thought we'd give you an overview of what's happening with the movement, and where things are heading.
