Speakers Series

Global Impact Speaker Series

The William Davidson Institute is proud to announce that the Social Enterprise Speaker Series and the Global Impact Speaker Series have become one!
 
This speaker series, still a part of WDI's Social Enterprise Research Initiative, will explore the changing roles of NGOs, corporations, and governments in achieving social and global impact. The traditional roles of these sectors are converging and should no longer be viewed as competing forces or independent agents. Models of innovative social enterprise strategies are widespread in developed countries, and the next step is to use this momentum to “scale up” and replicate social enterprises to reach more people. 
 
The Nonprofit and Public Management Center (NPM) at the University of Michigan will continue to be a sponsor in this series.
 
We look forward to hosting a diverse group of students at these events. This is a great opportunity to meet some innovative leaders in the field and get inspired!
 
For more information on speakers or questions about the series, email Kristen Roy.
 
For more information about social enterprise in the international context, visit the WDI Social Enterprise Research Initiative webpage.
 
Unless otherwise noted, all talks will begin at 4:30 pm
with a reception to follow.
