Accelerating Social Entrepreneurship Conference

[Announcement from he-sl listserv]

Join The Phoenix Project, a Learn and Serve America grantee located in the George Mason Center for Social Entrepreneurship, for the 4th installment of the acclaimed Accelerating Social Entrepreneurship (ASE) conference series: Accelerating Social Entrepreneurship in the Age of Austerity, to be held on November 10, 2011 on George Mason University’s Arlington, Virginia campus.

This year’s theme tackles how governments, nonprofit and private organizations, educators, and students are applying innovative, sustainable, and scalable solutions to society’s greatest challenges in an age of limited resources but flush with opportunity.

•  Senator Mark Warner

•  Mario Morino, Founder

•  Diana Wells, President of Ashoka

•  Paul Carttar, Director of the Social Innovation Fund

•  Bill Shore, Founder of Share Our Strength

...and many more!
