Are you an aspiring or intermediate entrepreneur? Are you part of an organization with a social enterprise idea? Join the Social Enterprise movement in Appalachia! The 3rd Annual Central Appalachian Social Enterprise Summit is scheduled for November 19, 2019 at Tamarack in Beckley, WV.
Two concurrent session tracks will be available during the event: Aspiring and Coaching. Attendees interested in learning more about starting a social enterprise or with an idea they think could become a business are encouraged to choose the Aspiring track, while attendees who consider themselves intermediate social entrepreneurs and would benefit from business planning, developing a theory of change, and coaching to move their business to the next level should select the Coaching track. Choose which track you would be interested in attending!
This event is being held in conjunction with the Central Appalachian Network Regional Peer-to-Peer Convening, which will begin the evening of November 19 and focuses on community economic development more broadly. If you are interested in attending both events, stay tuned for more information on the CAN Convening.
More details will be released in the coming months. Check out our event video here!
