Overcoming Obstacles to build a Social Enterprise

Featuring Amber & Acacia Woodley from Tiny Girl BIG Dream 

We are not a non-profit simply because this is Acacia’s dream, she knows where she wants to go, and is unstoppable in accomplishing her goal. -Amber Woodley

Tiny Girl, Big Dream is not a non-profit. Instead, Amber Woodley decided that her daughter needed to have an active role in her business. If this organization decided to become a non-profit organization, there would have to be a board of directors, and Amber was concerned that Acacia’s mission could be lost within that structure. Join us for this inspirational presentation and discover how this young girl is spreading her message of acceptance and love through her business!

COST TO ATTEND: $10.00 - Cash accepted at the door - if you would like to use cheque/or credit card for multiple attendees, please contact Tuula at 768-6682
