Social Venture Network 2009 Innovation Awards
The Social Venture Network has been hard at work, connecting and building a community of business and non-profit leaders all over the U.S. and Canada. They’re facilitating discussions about sustainability and providing resources for leaders engaged in socially responsible innovation in their areas of expertise. These folks also sponsor an annual SVN Innovation Award, and applications for the 2009 Award are being accepted through June 15. You can read more about the award and download the application here.
What is the SVN Innovation Award for?
As SVN looks to the future, we’re committed to inspiring and supporting the next generation of innovative, socially responsible business and nonprofit entrepreneurs. That’s why we created the Innovation Awards. The goal of the Awards program is to recognize the leaders of emerging enterprises, bring them into the SVN community, and give them access to a network of 500 successful socially responsible business and nonprofit leaders, investors, and other resources and connections that can help them achieve success with their own enterprise.
