Governor’s Nonprofit Leadership Conference

Posted on 08. Dec, 2009 in Role of Government, Social Innovation

I’m excited to be giving a keynote tomorrow at the OneStar Foundation: Texas Center for Social Impact’s Governor’s Nonprofit Leadership Conference in Dallas. OneStar is doing some great work through their Texas Social Innovation Initiative to identify effective nonprofits and support their work (they will announce the seven winners of their competition tomorrow), drawing on lessons learned from Root Cause’s Social Innovation Forum. After my keynote, at 11:30am EST/10:30am CST, I will be participating in an innovative “social media” panel, which will be streamed live from the conference, where we will discuss the partnership and how cross-organizational partnerships, including those with government, can support the acceleration of social impact. You will be able to watch it live right here, as well as at www.rootcause.org, and you can participate in the session by asking questions through the viewer. You can also ask questions and follow the conversation on Twitter using the hashtags #TXSI and #GNLC. Don’t forget to check back in tomorrow to watch it!

UPDATE: Watch the video of the live conversation here.
