The Annual Forum on Nonprofit Effectiveness

Social entrepreneurship is the creation of social value through the innovative application of the best of for-profit and nonprofit practices, including the diversification of income sources with earned income strategies.

Social entrepreneurs are resourceful and results-oriented utilizing strategies that encompass accountability and the benefits and risks of change.

Social entrepreneurship principles are appropriate for all the kinds of nonprofit organizations -- small, large, new, mature, rural, metropolitan -- that comprise the nonprofit sector.

The Center for Nonprofit Leadership and Management's 7th Annual Forum on Nonprofit Effectiveness will be held March 3 - 4, 2005. The topic for this Forum is Social Enterprise: building service capacity through non-traditional approaches and strategic thinking for long-range sustainability.

The Annual Forum on Nonprofit Effectiveness, held on the first Friday of March each year, is designed to stimulate thought about best practices in nonprofit leadership and organizational effectiveness as well as provide affordable access to the latest and most innovative thinking on core issues.

This year's Forum focuses on Social Enterprise within the Nonprofit Community. We will highlight existing resources and emerging efforts to build the capacity of Arizona nonprofit leaders, organizations and the sector as a whole.

This statewide conference on Social Enterprise will serve to assist nonprofits in increasing their service capacity by exploring creative approaches to diversified funding in the nonprofit sector. We'll explore building service capacity through non-traditional approaches and strategic thinking for long-range sustainability.
