ReVV 2010 Conference

“The particular uniqueness of Springboard programs is the clear understanding of what it takes to move through the social entrepreneuring process from start to finish. They do this by guiding and moving launchers step-by-step, utilizing their own expertise and linkages to incredibly innovative, competent and skilled individuals and organizations. This is done with the understanding that it is human nature to get stuck in one task or another.

Consequently we are kept on pace with supportive, thought provoking, and interesting tasks aimed at constantly moving us forward."

-Christa Sprinkle, Local Agenda Program Participant

(SAVE THE DATE! March 22, 2011!)

Anne Murray Allen, Dan Pallotta, and Amy Pearl stop for a picture after Dan's keynote. The audience was transfixed by Dan's presentation and story, compelled to change how we view nonprofits. A very timely message.

Did you get a chance to see Fabian Han share his ideas for social change? He shared the stage with Carol Tappenden from GreaterGood in South Africa. If you saw both of them, you saw history in the making. Fabian represents a new generation of change leaders who look at change leadership and investing in a whole new light, and we were honored to hear him share his vision for a better future. He is holding a present from Tamzin Ractliffe who was unable to attend due to the ash in Europe. She also sent him a magnet which reads "Leap and the net will appear."

A conference and workshops: two days to choose from.

We were not content to just hold a conference. We've all experienced the frustration of going to a great conference and leaving with more questions than answers. To help you dig deeper and get ready to apply what you've learned, we've designed a day of three-hour workshops led by many of the same experts who you will meet at the conference. Choose one, grab a chair, and settle in to move your practice into the cutting edge. Program details here.
