Social Goals for Business

This group is for people interested in social goals for business. "Social Goals" may include interests in fair labor practices; fair trade; environmental/sustainability; giving back to communities as well as various charitable causes without operating as a non-profit 501c3. Whether you are interested in developing better corporate responsibility for your employer or business, or starting a new business with social goals built-in, this MeetUp is for you. In addition to networking, we will have regular presentations on many aspects of planning, organizational learning, resources, evaluation and management of a social enterprise.
