On the Accelerating Social Entrepreneurship Conference ‘09

I had an incredible day yesterday at the Accelerating Social Entrepreneurship Conference − thanks so much to all of you who contributed your suggestions for the use of the Social Innovation Fund called for in the Serve America Act. Hopefully this will be the start of a great dialogue.

Nathaniel Whittemore, whom I had the pleasure of meeting at ASE09, and the Social Entrepreneurship blogger at Change.org, wrote a great piece on our session yesterday. Please check it out and leave your thoughts here and on his post as well.

About Andrew’s Blog

Somewhere, right now, in different parts of the world, we know what works to solve many of society's critical issues. But what we lack is the infrastructure, systems, policies, institutions, and measures to advance those solutions in ways that can benefit many. It will take all three sectors of society - public, nonprofit, and private - working together to better invest taxes and philanthropic dollars, as well as to better utilize markets in more creative and strategic ways. This blog will explore this journey. For more on Andrew's work, please visit Root Cause's website at www.rootcause.org.
