The Social Enterprise Journey: balancing social mission with making money -
15 November (Wellington) and 22 (Auckland)
Trainer: Bice Awan (Skylight)
Venue: School of Public Health, Newtown (Wellington) and Mercy Spirituality
Centre, Epsom (Auckland)
Price: $195 for not-for-profit organisations, $395 for public sector.
Includes GST, lunch and tea.
Bice Awan (Chief Executive, Skylight) is passionate about the concept of
social enterprise and is looking forward to sharing ideas, stories and tips
with organisations who are curious about the operating model. By operating
as a social enterprise, organisations can reduce their dependency on
external funding.
The workshop is designed for a wide range of participants from the community
and voluntary sector, including managers and directors, trustees, and board
members. Participants from philanthropic funders and the public sector are
also welcome as a good understanding of social enterprise could help the
stability of community and voluntary sector organisations with whom they
fund.
The workshop will benefit those who are:
* Wanting to become more self-sufficient and are curious about the
concept, but need more information to gauge if the model is compatible with
their organisation.
* Considering ways to broaden funding portfolios.
* Interested in developing their existing social enterprise
initiatives.
* Eager to hear a discussion on social enterprise that is backed up by
real life experience.
