The Rural Social Enterprise Practitioners Institute is a 2-day learning process geared to current and emerging social enterprise development practitioners, primarily consultants, working with nonprofits and social businesses. The focus of this session will be on social enterprise in the context of local and community based economic development, as well as the similarities and differences in consulting with nonprofits seeking to earn revenue as compared to private sector businesses. Particular themes to be considered this year include:
- social finance and local investment tools;
- measuring social impact in social enterprise; and,
- governance and regulation in social enterprise.
The 2014 institute will engage both Anglophone and Francophone rural SE practitioners in sessions in both languages.
