Join the NYC Venture Philanthropy Fund for a stimulating discussion on environmentally-focused social entrepreneurship in an urban context.

Wednesday, June 4
6:00-8:00pm
The Foundation Center
79 Fifth Ave. (at 16th St.), 2nd Floor

For many of us, "the environment" conjures up images of green spaces far from the city where we live. But urban centers like New York have unique environmental challenges and possibilities.

This event offers a venue for VPF members and non-members alike to discuss and debate how we can most effectively weave together the environment and social entrepreneurship in New York City’s five boroughs.

Our panel includes:

Moderator: Dana Betterton, Senior Associate, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors

Speaker: Brian Dumaine, Editorial Director, Fortune Small Business and Author of The Plot to Save the Earth:  How the Strange Bedfellows of Corporate Tycoons, Green Activists, and Visionary Entrepreneurs will Save the Planet and Change Global Capitalism 

Speaker: Neil Chambers, Director of Sustainability, inFORM Studio

Speaker: Omar Freilla, Executive Director, Green Worker Cooperatives

We look forward to seeing you on June 4!
