"Making a Living while Making a Difference" (Jory Fisher & Karen Hirsch)

We will discuss the emergence of the new industry of social entrepreneurship and how women can play a pivotal role in social change. Social entrepreneurship combines the unique product technology, cash flow, and leadership skill of for-profit companies with the heart, passion and purpose of not-for-profit organizations with the goal of providing sustainable solutions to the world's biggest problems. Social entrepreneurship doesn't require a degree from business school -- all it requires is a desire to make an impact.
