Description
Topic: In their recently launched Social Good Report: Profit & Purpose, Next Stage explores the ways that our community can blend profit and purpose to build a new framework for community success. In this session, Next Stage CEO Josh Jacobson and Chief Marketing Officer Janet Ervin will unpack four key areas where social good can offer business solutions - and why the success of your business may depend on it.
Next Stage | Strategy and Implementation for Social Good
The world is changing fast, community problems seem bigger than ever and the competition for resources can feel overwhelming. The lines between nonprofit, business, civic and policy impact grow increasingly blurred, as more organizations recognize the need for partnerships and strategies that value both people and sustainability to create systemic change.
These changes are making way for leaders with courageous visions to forge new partnerships and strategies that will create change in communities felt for generations. Leaders and organizations already have the internal drive and expertise to make big impact. Next Stage partners to fuel this drive and make these visions a reality.
Speakers:
Josh Jacobson, Founder and CEO
Janet Ervin, Chief Marketing Officer

You can now register up to 9am the day of the luncheon, but $15 Early Bird Pricing for Members will automatically cut off AT the 24hr mark (11AM THE DAY BEFORE). Monthly Luncheons are $15 for Chamber Members if you register before 24 hours before the luncheon. AT 24hours before, luncheons are $20 for everyone. When registering, Members will see $20 in the registration fee, but you will see a $5 Early Bird Discount immediately after you click on the $20 fee, if you register early enough. AT the 24hour mark (11am the day before), pricing will automatically go to $20 with no discount, so if Chamber Members register for the luncheon at the 24hour mark or later, you will pay $20.
Refunds will only be made if cancellation is received at least 24 hours in advance. If you prepay but cannot attend, call the office before the 24hr mark and we can move your payment to the next lunch, no problem, but you must let us know 24 hours in advance! Thank you!
