The Commonwealth of California – June 02, 2010
Last month, The Commonwealth Club launched an important new series focusing on Social Entrepreneurship in America, featuring innovators and pioneers bringing an entrepreneurial spirit and rigor to solve societal problems.
The leadoff speaker for the series was Grameen Bank founder Muhammad Yunus, a Nobel Prize winner for his pathbreaking efforts to bring finance to the poorest of the poor.
The 13-event Social Entrepreneurship in America series, directed by The Club’s Social Entrepreneur in Residence, Ruth Shapiro, includes social entrepreneur leaders Conchy Bretos (CEO, MIA Consulting Group), Sally Osberg (president & CEO of The Skoll Foundation), ShoreBank Corp. President Mary Houton, Ashoka founder & Chairman Bill Drayton, and many more.
Now, for the first time in its 107-year history, The Commonwealth Club is teaming up with our friends at Fora.tv to offer this series to global audiences in the form of a premium online video package. Subscriptions are available on monthly or complete-series packages, all delivered with great sound and video.
